Was wondering if I spelled NMESIS correctly in my prior post, lucked out and got it right. I am a believer in keeping our tech up to date and if possible ahead of date. I do think that the tactics and logistics of using it is also vital. None of this equipment is any good if it sits on the shelf or due to poor thinking or poor tactics.

Appears to be a complimentary piece of kit. A piece of gear used to support a MEF Centric MAGTF. Grok:**NEMESIS SIGINT/EW System Summary**

- **Purpose**: A U.S. Navy electronic warfare (EW) and signals intelligence (SIGINT) system designed to deceive enemy sensors by creating false signatures of aircraft, ships, and submarines, disrupting their command and control.

- **Capabilities**:

- Generates realistic radar, infrared, and electromagnetic signatures to mimic non-existent forces.

- Integrates unmanned vehicles, ship/submarine systems, EW payloads, and advanced communications for multi-domain deception.

- Uses networked, adaptive technology to target enemy sensor networks across air, sea, and subsurface domains.

- **Strategic Role**: Enhances electromagnetic spectrum dominance, counters advanced adversaries (e.g., China, Russia), and supports multi-domain operations by confusing enemy situational awareness.

- **Development**: In progress since at least 2013, nearing operational status by 2019, per Navy budget documents.

- **Key Features**:

- Coordinates multiple platforms for unified, large-scale deception.

- Likely uses open architecture for rapid tech upgrades.

- Focuses on strategic, cross-domain EW unlike localized jamming systems (e.g., EA-18G Growler).

- **Challenges**: Complex coordination, potential vulnerability to counter-EW, and need for allied interoperability.”

Thank you for the break out of this acronym! My close friend was familiar w tactical signals intelligence and electronic warfare systems once upon a time. It is great to be exposed to their new acronym! LOL.
