A comprehensive and well thought out JRFL [joint restricted frequency list] and EMCON [emission control] plan are normally the two tools that permit flexibility of EW [electronic warfare] actions during an operation without compromising friendly use of the EM [electromagnetic] spectrum. Some of the coordination actions related to EM spectrum that EW staff personnel should consider include :... establishing and designating a jamming control authority(JCA) to conduct on-station coordination, employment, targeting, and deconfliction of EA [electronic attack] and ES [electronic warfare support] assets. 3, record 1, English, - jamming%20control%20authority
