The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) needs to evaluate the impact of Electronic Warfare (EW) equipment (Jammers) and the impact of EW on first responder equipment. Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has experience and qualified personnel to conduct these tests. The proposed action would provide the needed testing to the Department of Defense (DoD), DHS, Department of Justice (DoJ), Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and local, state and other agencies at the INL over several days in July 2017.
