SAA Block 1 Task 18

Define the Term Stop Stream

Stop Stream: Used by ATC to request a pilot to suspend electronic attack activity

Define the term Jamming

Jamming: Denotes emissions that do not mimic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals (e.g., GPS and WAAS), but rather interfere with the civil receiver’s ability to acquire and track GNSS signals. Jamming can result in denial of GNSS navigation, positioning, timing and aircraft dependent functions. 

Who needs to be notified when there is EA activity

Refer all EA activity requests to the appropriate center supervisor. 

Describe what should be done in the event that EA interferes with the operational use of radar:  

• EN ROUTE. Request the responsible military unit or aircraft, if initial request was received directly from pilot, to suspend the activity.  

• TERMINAL. Request suspension of the activity through the ARTCC. If immediate cessation of the activity is required, broadcast the request directly to the EA aircraft on the emergency frequency. Notify the ARTCC of direct broadcast as soon as possible.
