This pre study suggests (even if it is not within the task for the pre study) that the first thing to do is to make sure ever rifleman has his/hers own communication radio. The research areas of interest for EW in urban environment are: Location of communications in urbanized terrain by using Electronic Support Short range communication based on an miniaturized EW-system Protection against remote controlled IED ("Improvised Explosive Devices") EW-suite in urbanized terrain HPM - UWB HPM - Effects when used in urbanized terrain HPM - Effects on simple generic civilian objects Suggestions for activities in other research areas than EW are given in the report.
