 Forget Radio Silence. Tomorrow’s Soldiers Will Move Under Cover of Electronic Noise

The Army’s doctrine chief says it’s self-defeating to switch off the networks that enable U.S. military superiority.

Future soldiers will go into battle with their favorite phones, loaded with communications apps, drone steering programs, even offensive cyber weapons — although permission to use specific software and ad-hoc hardware will depend on missions, roles, and ranks. And they’ll move under an invisible shield of electronic noise and decoy information, according to a vision of future Army battlefield networking provided by Army Gen. David Perkins.

Makes sense. Easier to get your 'noise' out of the pile than be silent and stealthy. Overwhelm sigint. If it is cranked to 11 all the time, there is no apparent change in traffic. Finding one will require more sophisticated analysis.
