Autonomous CEMA/ CEMA-AI

Definition

Autonomous CEMA is aI coordination of cyber and electromagnetic activities as an integrated operational effect. In defense applications, it links spectrum maneuver, cyber defense, deception, and sensing into one decision space. The hard part is fratricide, attribution uncertainty, and escalation risk, especially when systems are deployed across contested links, coalition boundaries, and mixed human-machine teams. KhanBMS treats it as a KhanBMS cross-domain planning layer under commander authority, tying the concept back to modular command, edge execution, and auditable authority.
