Electronic Warfare
Electronic Warfare (EW) involves using the electromagnetic spectrum to control or deny an adversary's access to information, disrupting their electronic systems while protecting one's own.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Electronic Warfare (EW) is a military discipline encompassing any military action involving the use of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum to control, exploit, attack, or defend, including electromagnetic attack (EA), electromagnetic protection (EP), and electromagnetic support (ES) for operational advantage.
BACKGROUND
Electromagnetic warfare or electronic warfare (EW) is warfare involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum or directed energy to control the spectrum, attack an enemy, or impede enemy operations. The purpose of electromagnetic warfare is to deny the opponent the advantage of—and ensure friendly unimpeded access to—the EM spectrum. Electromagnetic warfare can be applied from air, sea, land, or space by crewed and uncrewed systems and can target communication, radar, or other military and civilian assets.
