Government wants PSYOPS tool to hijack every AM and FM radio station in target area

If you saw Iron Man 3, then you recall The Mandarin hijacking TV broadcast signals to threaten the President of the United States and to intimidate Tony Stark. Although Iron Man’s arch-enemy is fictional, hijacking TV and radio station broadcast signals is not fiction. In a nutshell, the regularly scheduled show is temporarily replaced with a message of the attacker’s choosing.
Tactics such as broadcast signal intrusion – better known as hijacking – might be classified as psychological operations (PSYOPS). At least the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association’s (AFCEA) Signal Magazine thinks so, since it had a short blurb titled “Special Ops hunts for PSYOPS tool.”
