Scope and definition
Section 2 – Functional scope
2.5. CEMA should be coordinated and may be synchronised across any, or
all, activities. Although the intent within CEMA is to synchronise offensive,
defensive and inform activities, that may not be practical against the whole
range of joint force activities.
2.6. CEMA comprises cyber activities and electromagnetic activities (EMA)
however, there are no approved definitions for either cyber activities or EMA.
Identifying these two groups of activities would help in the understanding
of the CEMA scope. The proposed definition of electromagnetic activities
is: all offensive, defensive and inform activities that shape or exploit the
electromagnetic environment and the enabling activities that support
them.15

2.7. Cyber activities have not been defined. However, equivalents can be
found in the four cyber operations’ roles:16
•
offensive cyber operations (OCO);
•
defensive cyber operations (DCO) (including active defence);
•
cyber intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (cyber ISR); and
•
cyber operational preparation of the environment (cyber OPE).
2.8. CEMA will also coordinate with organisations and actors conducting
non-CEMA activities where required. For example, CEMA is an enabler for
psychological operations that are considered to be part of information
operations. Figure 2.2 illustrates this relationship with some examples (not
all) of non-CEMA activities.17
15 This definition was proposed and endorsed by the CEMA CIG on behalf of the
Head Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance and Cyber joint user.
