The Emerging Battlespace

The Electromagnetic (EM) Spectrum

All modern forces depend on unimpeded access to, and use of, the EM spectrum

This create vulnerabilities and opportunities during military operations.

A paradigm shift The EM spectrum can no longer be viewed as an enabler,

but rather as a primary warfighting domain, on par with land, sea, air and space operations.
