Space Weather
Parent: DE-0009
Description
The adversary aligns operations with heightened solar/geomagnetic activity so effects resemble natural disturbances. During storms, receivers struggle with scintillation and increased noise; SEUs and resets rise; navigation and timing degrade; and operators expect anomalies. By conducting EMI, spoofing, or timing-sensitive sequences within these windows, the attacker benefits from ambient interference and plausible attribution to space weather. Telemetry gaps, link fades, or transient upsets appear consistent with the environment, delaying suspicion that a deliberate action occurred.
