Intrepid Tiger II Pod.

Tyler over at FoxTrot Alpha blog has an interesting article you should check out about Marine Corps efforts to develop an electronic warfare system that isn't based on the EA-6 Prowler.  A tidbit...

The Intrepid Tiger II pod works by actively monitoring for enemy communications at certain bandwidths and then selectively jams frequencies that are being used by the bad guys once they start talking. This capability allows for a secondary communications intelligence ability, so the pod can be used to actually eavesdrop on the enemy's chatter as well as disrupting it. The pod can also actively jam known bandwidths that are commonly used to initiate IEDs, such as those used by cellular phones or garage door openers.
What makes this pod even more tactically potent is that it can either be used in automated modes set by the pilot in the aircraft that is carrying it or its information can be data-linked to a ground station for exploitation in real time. This means that the pod can be remotely controlled and the intelligence it gathers can be listened to and analyzed by experts who are fluent in local dialects. They can also gauge the effect of Intrepid Tiger's pinpoint jamming and change disruption methods to get the best effects in real time. Needless to say, having a ground station with experts in jamming and linguistics providing "virtual over-watch" for a bunch of Marines moving through a high-threat area on the ground is a godsend for commanders.

This is the type of thing that NAVAIR and the USMC should be shouting about from the rooftops.

This saved lives and IS a combat multiplier.

Isn't that just the way things roll?  The stuff we should be proud of we hide and stuff we should shut up about we broadcast to the world.

Amazing.
