How are military communications “secure”?

669 views

As far as I am aware, a radio signal is basically just shouting into the void, and anyone who is tuned to the correct channel can hear you clear as day, like a car radio. So, how do militaries keep their radio signals from being over heard by the enemy? Do they have special radios, or are the communications sent over radios just not that important strategically?

Generally speaking all military radio communications are secured by encryption. In the old days, encryption was performed by an add-on device. Generally speaking, modern radio devices have embedded encryption circuits.
