precise determination <strong>of</strong> its position.<br />

radio frequency countermeasures — Any device or technique employing radio frequency<br />

particularly with respect to precision guided weapons and sensor systems. Also called<br />

RF CM. (JP 3-13.1)<br />

radiological accident — A loss <strong>of</strong> control over radiation or radioactive material that<br />
