Today’s military works in a complex electromagneticarena. IED jammers and UGS systems are examples where propagation is very near to the ground, and the interaction of signals with the earth can unintentionally alter propagation. In these scenarios the direct and reflected waves tend to cancel one another, causing the surface wave component to be the dominant mode of propagation. This surface wave must be taken into account in order to correctly model radio wave propagation in these cases.

Greg Skidmore, from Remcom, attended a virtual workshop held by NTIA on November 6, 2024, focused on the challenges of developing this model, with discussions led by experts from various organizations highlighting obstacles such as the Moon's terrain and lack of gravity. The event aimed to enhance understanding and collaboration in this critical research area to support future lunar missions.
