CEMA: Mastering the Cyber and Electromagnetic Environments
© 123RF
Thales creates cutting-edge, integrated cyber and electromagnetic solutions to achieve operational advantage, protect allies, and disrupt adversaries. CEMA (Cyber and ElectroMagnetic Activities) enables users to control and manage the use of the EM spectrum, providing enhanced SI (Signals Intelligence) and the opportunity to undermine and influence the enemy’s EM capabilities.
Creating Operational Advantage through mastering the Electromagnetic spectrum.
The increasingly complex and interconnected nature of modern warfare, security, and critical infrastructure operations has created a need for more comprehensive threat protection and the integration of Cyber and Electromagnetic Domains. Thales are committed to harnessing current and emerging innovations through spiral development, targeted R&D and strategic partnerships to provide a decisive operational edge over adversaries by allowing users to be fully informed, protecting themselves or go on the offensive, disrupting enemy networks and exploiting vulnerabilities.
All of our solutions are built on strategic partnerships designed to understand and integrate with specific customer requirements. This often means our experts are embedded in your team, supporting customers with real-time software development and adaptation when it really matters. We leverage our proven Cyber and EW expertise track record to evolve and implement future-facing, user-centric solutions that are always secure by design.
Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities vs. Cyber and Electronic Warfare
Electronic Warfare (EW) and Cyber Warfare (CW) have traditionally been considered independent, disparate disciplines. The boundary between the two fields has begun to blur as communications, navigation, and radar systems have become increasingly networked and connected, producing more opportunities to create operational advantage through manipulation, exploitation, and control.
Unlike separate Cyber and EW solutions, CEMA seamlessly integrates offensive, defensive, and support activities across the cyber and electromagnetic spectrums. Thales’ comprehensive blended Cyber and EW approach means users can be faster, more agile, and more effective.
The ability to Understand through EW and Effect or Protect in Cyber (or any required combination of capabilities) heralds an agile, effective and coordinated approach to threat management built on rapid, informed decision-making.
Ultimately, CEMA provides a competitive edge - forcing adversaries to play on your terms, reducing time-to-decision, time-to-adapt, and electronically influencing their behaviour to your CEMA Functions:
- Collect Data
- Analyse Information
- Identify and Disrupt
- Deny and Degrade
- Enable force protection
