FM/BS-1729.V1.01 - Mitigate signal and detection risks during sUAS operations
Maintain reliable sUAS control while reducing the risk of enemy detection, interception, or triangulation during flight operations.
- Identify terrain features that may interfere with signal transmission or reception
- Maintain awareness of signal degradation caused by terrain, structures, vegetation, or elevation changes
- Adjust aircraft position, altitude, or operator location to maintain signal quality
- Monitor for signs of signal instability or degradation during flight
- Maintain awareness that enemy SIGINT assets may detect sUAS and controller emissions
- Minimize unnecessary transmission exposure during operations
- Position operators and equipment to reduce likelihood of enemy detection
- Use terrain and concealment to reduce signature exposure where possible
- Limit predictable flight patterns and operating locations
- Apply appropriate risk mitigation measures during launch, flight, and recovery operations
