In the heart of the Moroccan desert, the U.S. and Moroccan armies are jointly conducting an unprecedented multi-domain warfare exercise. The exercise, called "Mysterious Thunder 24", is led by the U.S. Army's Second Multi-Domain Task Force and implements all-round electronic warfare missions through tethered balloons and drones.

Multi-domain operations: a new height of traditional reconnaissance
Lt. Col. Ritzema, commander of the U.S. military, said that the core mission of the multi-domain task force is to "detect and suppress" potential enemy targets. signal jammerIn a multi-domain combat environment, reconnaissance is no longer a simple land reconnaissance, but a three-dimensional monitoring of the enemy through a variety of technical means. MDTF's tethered balloons can scan ground radio signals from the air, and then guide drones for precise positioning to achieve interference and suppression of enemy communications. Such multi-domain tactics will undoubtedly become a new model for future battlefield reconnaissance and suppression. drone jammer
Integration and innovation of drones and electronic warfare equipment
During this exercise, the US military carried two drones designed for different battlefield needs: one is the K-1000 drone for long-term monitoring, and the other is the flexible and maneuverable V-BAT drone. GSM jammerThe two drones have complementary characteristics, making reconnaissance and interference missions more diverse, taking into account persistence and mobility. In addition, the US military also used the surface unmanned ships of the Navy Task Force for the first time in the exercise, further enhancing the three-dimensional effect of multi-domain warfare.
The Royal Moroccan Armed Forces fully integrated into every link of the exercise, from the conceptual design of the exercise to the actual electronic warfare and network warfare operations. Major Zerick, a Moroccan signal officer, pointed out that such cooperation not only helps to improve the technical capabilities of the Moroccan army, but also allows the US and Moroccan armies to establish a closer cooperative bond in future multi-domain operations.
Information sharing: the key in joint command
During the exercise, the US and Moroccan armies used simulated scenarios of non-confidential information, enabling both sides to achieve near real-time data sharing through WinTAK software. This real-time sharing technology of tactical information will help multinational joint forces achieve a high degree of coordination in complex battlefield environments, especially in the fields of information warfare and electronic warfare. With the promotion of the concept of Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), similar multinational real-time data sharing mechanisms will become an important part of the future global battlefield.
Strategic significance of the exercise
"Mysterious Thunder 24" demonstrated the electronic warfare capabilities of the multi-domain task force and verified the actual effectiveness of drones and balloons in detecting, suppressing and attacking enemy targets. This technological innovation will enable traditional land warfare reconnaissance capabilities to be unprecedentedly improved and better cope with complex geographical and battlefield environments in the future. As the U.S. and Moroccan militaries further deepen cooperation, this exercise also provides practical experience and technical support for future joint electronic warfare.
