Electronic Warfare

According to the DOD, the U.S. military's access to and use of the electromagnetic spectrum is facing rapidly evolving challenges and increased vulnerabilities due to the increasing quality and availability of electronic warfare capabilities to both state and non-state actors. Also, DOD has reported that electronic warfare capabilities, which play a critical and potentially growing role as an enabler for military operations, are currently stressed and will remain so in the future. Moreover, near-peer competitors, primarily Russia and China, have fully recognized the critical nature of electromagnetic spectrum control in military operations and cyperspace operations, which includes computer network operations. This book examines select assessments of military capabilities and strategies with regard to electronic warfare, with a focus on management and oversight, as well as airborne electronic attacks.
