Audio Countermeasures

     

This course reviews the methods of surveillance, including mechanical, electronic, visual and optical attacks. Mechanical attacks are seen as everything from tape recording to physical capture of the information through oral or written form. Visual and optical attacks are covered as perhaps the most common, least suspected form of intelligence collection.

The student will learn various countermeasures to RF and wave transmitters, including infrared, laser and air techniques for intelligence collection. This phase of instruction will familiarize the student with detection, through systematic methods of conducting a physical search, electronic countermeasures and nullification. Electronic countermeasures will include a practical understanding of how to conduct electronic sweeps to detect radio transmitters. The student will also learn in excruciating detail how to conduct a physical search, and finally, nullification of all surveillance methods.

Resident Training Hours: 25
