C4ISR: The US has shown a secret portable intelligence device

WASHINGTON, (BM) – A portable reconnaissance device that appears to have very great potential for data processing, geolocation, and recognition seemed to be “accidentally” shown in a photo of a US Marine military exercise.

The Marines’ deployment often used the Raven exercise as a last resort before sending the infantry on a mission. Earlier in May, the exercise was held in Nashville, Tennessee. One of the shared photos shows a soldier with a backpack on his back and an antenna coming out of it, looking down (most likely at a tablet).
 
The exact name of the device in the backpack is not yet known, but military experts say it is a system from the JTWS family (Joint Threat Warning System). One of the first times we heard of such a system was at a deliberate Marine briefing nearly two years ago. According to the available information, this device serves to interception radio signals, geolocation and works in the high-frequency and ultra-high-frequency spectrum. In reality, it can intercept foreign communications within a certain radius during a reconnaissance mission without the use of larger, difficult-to-carry reconnaissance means.

Isn't military intelligence an oxymoron? :whistle:
 

PeteS in CA:
"BulgarianMilitary.com"? Not a ".bg" country code? That sounds a bit shaky. Also, the JTWS was announced publicly in 2000 (if not earlier), http://www.fbodaily.com/cbd/archive/2000/08(August)/15-Aug-2000/SPmsc004.htm . So besides an inappropriate country code in the url, the article has an anachronism error.

I think this is 8bs8  :bsflag: .

IF such a device exists, I predict it will be used on Americans before it's used on foreign soldiers...
