The author examines the U.S. Military's need for small, stealthy, multifunctional antennas and the problems involved developing them. Topics include electronic countermeasures involving high-power microwave weapons, use of radio-frequency waves as a way to disable enemy electronics, and changes in ways electronic communications can be jammed.

The US is adding urgency to developing solution for electromagnetic confusion in Iraq, as the electromagnetic environment is polluted to the point that it is interfering with the war. The airborne systems, particularly the EA-6B Prowler and EC-130 Compass Call electronic warfare aircraft, along with ground jammers cause even greater problems because of their height and subsequent dispersion of any jamming signal.
