  Determine the Response
  F-8. Service reprogramming centers assess validated threat change information for its impact on friendly
  EW and TSS equipment. A decision to initiate a reprogramming change is determined. The equipment may
  fail to provide appropriate indications and warnings or countermeasures in response to a threat change. In
  this instance, the Service reprogramming center determines if the requirement to correct the deficiency is
  either by changing tactics, software, or hardware.
  F-9. Service equipment support generates a system impact message that informs CCMDs and component
  commands of the threat change’s operational impact on EW and TSS equipment performance. The CCMDs
  forward the system impact message through the JTF headquarters to subordinate units. The system impact
  message often includes recommendations to respond to each identified threat change appropriately; however,
  each unit is ultimately responsible for determining the appropriate response action to a validated threat
  change.
  Create the Change
  F-10. The unit develops tactics, software, or hardware changes to regain or improve equipment performance
  and combat effectiveness. The first option to consider when creating a change is in using tactics to avoid the
  threat. Tactical change is typically the first option because software and hardware changes require time that
  may not be readily available. Units are ultimately responsible for initiating tactical change as the initial
  change to continue operations until software and hardware changes are made available by the Service
  equipment support.
  F-11. A combination of changes (such as tactics and software) often provides an immediate and long-term
  fix to equipment deficiencies. Software and hardware changes require assistance from the EW and TSS
  Service equipment support. Service equipment support conducts reprogramming support activities to verify
  equipment combat effectiveness through modeling and simulation, bench tests, or test range employments
  simulating operational conditions.
  Implement the Change
  F-12. Implementation of the change ensures units regain or attain enhanced combat effectiveness by tactics,
  software, or hardware change(s). CCMDs ensure subordinate units successfully incorporate tactics changes
  into mission pre-briefs. Service equipment support collaborates with other Services to install electronic and
  mechanical software and hardware changes to host EW and TSS equipment.
