Remember that every link is another chance for something to go wrong. Indeed, the more links you have, the easier it is for someone to deliberately render you blind.

SINCGARS transmits over a range of one to 1500 channels.. You can use one channel for instance to do direct with a civil authority. Normal operation is in frequency hopping mode. You upload the "Key" that tells the microprocessor in the SINCGARS radio which frequencies are true and for how long. Most are transmitted on for nanoseconds individually, thus you need to know precisely which frequencies and duration or you get nothing... It all sounds like solar static and bleed off from everything else transmitting radio noise.

Yes and no. We have a tendency to assume a certain superiority in our technology that is not always 100% true. SINCGARS is extremely difficult to detect... if you only have a limited time and instruments to catch it. If I have the right tools and the ability to park near a stationary transmitter, I can find it after a relative handful of transmissions. Remember that you are talking about a set of stationary transmitters - concealing the message is pretty easy, concealing their location is not.
