RF modification
Description
An adversarial can exfiltrate data modifying the RF components to send data with a different timing (and location), or with different frequencies. Antenna array can be used to send data into different beams. (Citation: European Space Agency)

T2036 'RF modification' covers exfiltrating data by modifying RF components to send data with different timing/location/frequencies — addresses EXF-0004's use of secondary RF links and contingency profiles for covert data exfiltration. SPACE-SHIELD has no out-of-band-channel-specific technique.
T2036 'RF modification' is the direct cross-framework counterpart of EXF-0006 — both describe altering RF components to send data via covert paths (different timing, location, frequencies, beams) outside mission monitoring.
T2036 'RF modification' explicitly covers SDR-style modification of RF components — direct match to EXF-0006.01 SDR (modifying DSP chains, adding subcarriers, varying puncturing as covert channels).
T2036 'RF modification' covers the broader RF-component-modification framing of EXF-0006.02 (transponder remapping is a form of RF modification).
