Land Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) Programme

The Land CEMA Programme aims to integrate people with cyber and electromagnetic technologies, to exploit opportunities and gain military advantage.

Land CEMA Vision

An army within the Joint Force and with Allies, naturalised to the cyber and electromagnetic domain, which integrates people with technology to exploit opportunities and gain military advantage.

Programme Benefits

We are modernising and transforming. A secure Army Digital Enterprise and a talented digital workforce provide the foundation needed to protect us against hostile, invisible threats. By developing new skills and leveraging new technologies we are maximising the talent within the army, leading to a resilient and adaptable force with greater agility to adapt to new threats, and use cyber and electromagnetic capabilities to exploit opportunities.

We aim to enhance foresight and reduce the cognitive burden of command. By improving the speed and accuracy of our data and signals intelligence, we will be able to make better and faster decisions. We will constrain the adversary’s freedom of action by integrating cyber and electronic attacks with other physical and joint effects, as the threat dictates, preserving our survivability and increasing the army’s wider utility for multi-domain integration. We will modernise and integrate with the army’s other major programmes through a powerful combination of a collaborative approach: with defence; with our partners and our allies; and through enablers and frameworks.

Land CEMA priorities

  • provide electronic and cyber protection to operate in a hostile cyber and electromagnetic domains

  • deepen our understanding using enhanced electronic sensors and survey tools and better contributing to the collection and exploitation of national intelligence

  • develop electromagnetic and cyber effect capable of deceiving, denying, disrupting and degrading the key capabilities of our adversaries, on land or in the cyber and electromagnetic domains
