Identify terrain features that may interfere with signal transmission or reception
Maintain awareness of signal degradation caused by terrain, structures, vegetation, or elevation changes
Adjust aircraft position, altitude, or operator location to maintain signal quality
Monitor for signs of signal instability or degradation during flight
Maintain awareness that enemy SIGINT assets may detect sUAS and controller emissions
Minimize unnecessary transmission exposure during operations
Position operators and equipment to reduce likelihood of enemy detection
Use terrain and concealment to reduce signature exposure where possible
Limit predictable flight patterns and operating locations
Apply appropriate risk mitigation measures during launch, flight, and recovery operations
