Exercise Kilat Eagle brings U.S. and Malaysian forces together

KUANTAN, Malaysia - Marines and Sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) began a cooperative exercise with elements of the Malaysian Army Dec. 14.

The exercise focuses on jungle training, air assault operations, staff exchange and platoon and company movements.

“Kilat Eagle reinforces our relationship with the Malaysian forces and provides a unique training opportunity for all parties,” said Col. Michael Hudson, 11th MEU’s commanding officer. “We look forward to sharing all that this agile, forward-deployed Marine air-ground-logistics team has to offer.”

During the exercise Marines plan to learn jungle survival and work with their Malaysian counterparts to improve helicopter-borne assault techniques. A staff exchange will also take place blending the experiences and functional areas of the forces.

“This is a golden opportunity,” said Hudson. “The venues and expertise offered by our gracious hosts will allow us to train with the Malaysians while keeping us sharp for our deployment as America’s premier fighting force in the littorals.”

The Marines and Sailors taking part in the exercise came ashore from the amphibious assault ship Makin Island which departed its San Diego homeport Nov. 14. The MEU and Amphibious Squadron 5 make up the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group.

The MEU's major subordinate elements participating in the training are the Battalion Landing Team 3/1, Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 268 (Reinforced) and Combat Logistics Battalion 11.

Exclusive : Iran hijacked US drone, says Iranian engineer



In an exclusive interview, an engineer working to unlock the secrets of the captured RQ-170 Sentinel says they exploited a known vulnerability and tricked the US drone into landing in Iran.


By Scott Peterson, Payam Faramarzi | CSM


Iran guided the CIA's " lost " stealth drone to an intact landing inside hostile territory by exploiting a navigational weakness long-known to the US military, according to an Iranian engineer now working on the captured drone's systems inside Iran.

Iranian electronic warfare specialists were able to cut off communications links of the American bat-wing RQ-170 Sentinel, says the engineer, who works for one of many Iranian military and civilian teams currently trying to unravel the drone’s stealth and intelligence secrets, and who could not be named for his safety.

Using knowledge gleaned from previous downed American drones and a technique proudly claimed by Iranian commanders in September, the Iranian specialists then reconfigured the drone's GPS coordinates to make it land in Iran at what the drone thought was its actual home base in Afghanistan.

" The GPS navigation is the weakest point, " the Iranian engineer told the Monitor, giving the most detailed description yet published of Iran's " electronic ambush " of the highly classified US drone. " By putting noise [jamming] on the communications, you force the bird into autopilot. This is where the bird loses its brain. "

The “ spoofing ” technique that the Iranians used – which took into account precise landing altitudes, as well as latitudinal and longitudinal data – made the drone “ land on its own where we wanted it to, without having to crack the remote-control signals and communications ” from the US control center, says the engineer.

The revelations about Iran's apparent electronic prowess come as the US, Israel, and some European nations appear to be engaged in an ever-widening covert war with Iran, which has seen assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, explosions at Iran's missile and industrial facilities, and the Stuxnet computer virus that set back Iran’s nuclear program.

Now this engineer’s account of how Iran took over one of America’s most sophisticated drones suggests Tehran has found a way to hit back. The techniques were developed from reverse-engineering several less sophisticated American drones captured or shot down in recent years, the engineer says, and by taking advantage of weak, easily manipulated GPS signals, which calculate location and speed from multiple satellites.


Western military experts and a number of published papers on GPS spoofing indicate that the scenario described by the Iranian engineer is plausible.

"Even modern combat-grade GPS [is] very susceptible” to manipulation, says former US Navy electronic warfare specialist Robert Densmore, adding that it is “ certainly possible ” to recalibrate the GPS on a drone so that it flies on a different course. “ I wouldn't say it's easy, but the technology is there. ”

In 2009, Iran-backed Shiite militants in Iraq were found to have downloaded live, unencrypted video streams from American Predator drones with inexpensive, off-the-shelf software. But Iran’s apparent ability now to actually take control of a drone is far more significant.

Iran asserted its ability to do this in September, as pressure mounted over its nuclear program.

Gen. Moharam Gholizadeh, the deputy for electronic warfare at the air defense headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), described to Fars News how Iran could alter the path of a GPS-guided missile – a tactic more easily applied to a slower-moving drone.

“ We have a project on hand that is one step ahead of jamming, meaning ‘deception’ of the aggressive systems, ” said Gholizadeh, such that “ we can define our own desired information for it so the path of the missile would change to our desired destination. ”

Gholizadeh said that “ all the movements of these [enemy drones] ” were being watched, and “ obstructing ” their work was “ always on our agenda. ”

That interview has since been pulled from Fars’ Persian-language website. And last month, the relatively young Gholizadeh died of a heart attack, which some Iranian news sites called suspicious – suggesting the electronic warfare expert may have been a casualty in the covert war against Iran.


Iran's growing electronic capabilities

Iranian lawmakers say the drone capture is a " great epic " and claim to be " in the final steps of breaking into the aircraft's secret code. "

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told Fox News on Dec. 13 that the US will " absolutely " continue the drone campaign over Iran, looking for evidence of any nuclear weapons work. But the stakes are higher for such surveillance, now that Iran can apparently disrupt the work of US drones.

US officials skeptical of Iran’s capabilities blame a malfunction, but so far can't explain how Iran acquired the drone intact. One American analyst ridiculed Iran’s capability, telling Defense News that the loss was “like dropping a Ferrari into an ox-cart technology culture. ”

Yet Iran’s claims to the contrary resonate more in light of new details about how it brought down the drone – and other markers that signal growing electronic expertise.

A former senior Iranian official who asked not to be named said: " There are a lot of human resources in Iran.... Iran is not like Pakistan. "

“ Technologically, our distance from the Americans, the Zionists, and other advanced countries is not so far to make the downing of this plane seem like a dream for us … but it could be amazing for others, ” deputy IRGC commander Gen. Hossein Salami said this week.

According to a European intelligence source, Iran shocked Western intelligence agencies in a previously unreported incident that took place sometime in the past two years, when it managed to “blind” a CIA spy satellite by “ aiming a laser burst quite accurately. ”

More recently, Iran was able to hack Google security certificates, says the engineer. In September, the Google accounts of 300,000 Iranians were made accessible by hackers. The targeted company said "circumstantial evidence" pointed to a "state-driven attack" coming from Iran, meant to snoop on users.

Cracking the protected GPS coordinates on the Sentinel drone was no more difficult, asserts the engineer.


US knew of GPS systems' vulnerability


Use of drones has become more risky as adversaries like Iran hone countermeasures. The US military has reportedly been aware of vulnerabilities with pirating unencrypted drone data streams since the Bosnia campaign in the mid-1990s.

Top US officials said in 2009 that they were working to encrypt all drone data streams in Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan – after finding militant laptops loaded with days' worth of data in Iraq – and acknowledged that they were "subject to listening and exploitation. "

Perhaps as easily exploited are the GPS navigational systems upon which so much of the modern military depends.

" GPS signals are weak and can be easily outpunched [overridden] by poorly controlled signals from television towers, devices such as laptops and MP3 players, or even mobile satellite services, " Andrew Dempster, a professor from the University of New South Wales School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems, told a March conference on GPS vulnerability in Australia.

" This is not only a significant hazard for military, industrial, and civilian transport and communication systems, but criminals have worked out how they can jam GPS, " he says.

The US military has sought for years to fortify or find alternatives to the GPS system of satellites, which are used for both military and civilian purposes. In 2003, a “ Vulnerability Assessment Team ” at Los Alamos National Laboratory published research explaining how weak GPS signals were easily overwhelmed with a stronger local signal.

“ A more pernicious attack involves feeding the GPS receiver fake GPS signals so that it believes it is located somewhere in space and time that it is not,” reads the Los Alamos report. “ In a sophisticated spoofing attack, the adversary would send a false signal reporting the moving target’s true position and then gradually walk the target to a false position. ”

The vulnerability remains unresolved, and a paper presented at a Chicago communications security conference in October laid out parameters for successful spoofing of both civilian and military GPS units to allow a "seamless takeover" of drones or other targets.

To “ better cope with hostile electronic attacks, ” the US Air Force in late September awarded two $47 million contracts to develop a " navigation warfare " system to replace GPS on aircraft and missiles, according to the Defense Update website.

Official US data on GPS describes " the ongoing GPS modernization program " for the Air Force, which " will enhance the jam resistance of the military GPS service, making it more robust. "


Why the drone's underbelly was damaged


Iran's drone-watching project began in 2007, says the Iranian engineer, and then was stepped up and became public in 2009 – the same year that the RQ-170 was first deployed in Afghanistan with what were then state-of-the-art surveillance systems.

In January, Iran said it had shot down two conventional (nonstealth) drones, and in July, Iran showed Russian experts several US drones – including one that had been watching over the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, near the holy city of Qom.

In capturing the stealth drone this month at Kashmar, 140 miles inside northeast Iran, the Islamic Republic appears to have learned from two years of close observation.

Iran displayed the drone on state-run TV last week, with a dent in the left wing and the undercarriage and landing gear hidden by anti-American banners.

The Iranian engineer explains why : " If you look at the location where we made it land and the bird's home base, they both have [almost] the same altitude, " says the Iranian engineer. " There was a problem [of a few meters] with the exact altitude so the bird's underbelly was damaged in landing; that's why it was covered in the broadcast footage. "

Prior to the disappearance of the stealth drone earlier this month, Iran’s electronic warfare capabilities were largely unknown – and often dismissed.

" We all feel drunk [with happiness] now, " says the Iranian engineer. " Have you ever had a new laptop ? Imagine that excitement multiplied many-fold. " When the Revolutionary Guard first recovered the drone, they were aware it might be rigged to self-destruct, but they " were so excited they could not stay away. "

Boustead Naval Shipyard gets RM9bil contract



KUALA LUMPUR : The Defence Ministry has awarded Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd a RM9bil contract to design, build and deliver six second-generation patrol vessels, or littoral combat ships (Frigate Class).

Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC) said in a statement to Bursa Malaysia that the contract awarded to its associate, Boustead Naval Shipyard, would be implemented over three Malaysia Plans, 10, 11 and 12.

The delivery of the ship was expected in 2017, with follow-on ships every six months thereafter, it said.

It said the contract would have no material effect on the earnings of BHIC for the current financial year ending Dec 31, but would contribute positively to the future earnings of the group.

None of the directors nor substantial shareholders of BHIC or persons connected with it had any interest, direct or indirect, in the contract, it said.

I think it is, according to my uncle, some sort of agreement between Malaysia and Russia got content saying that we will get 2 PAK FA.
i think it is the agreement of we buying the SU-30MKM .
