What is Electronic Warfare?

Page 2: Lesson 08 - EW
Page 3: Lesson 08 - EW

Electronic Warfare (EW)Electronic Warfare (EW)

Element of Command & Control Warfare (C2W) Command and Control Warfare (C2W) includes

integrated use of: Operational Security (OPSEC) Military Deception Psychological Operations (PSYOPS) Physical Destruction Electronic Warfare (EW)

Page 4: Lesson 08 - EW

Importance of EWImportance of EW

• Increased reliance on radar and OTH targeting

• Increased use of Communications and Tactical Data Systems (TDS)

• Increased capabilities of missile & weapons system– Requires high-speed detection and tracking

• Active/Passive homing long-range missile give little warning

Page 5: Lesson 08 - EW

Three Components of EWThree Components of EW

� Electronic Support (ES) *ESM

� Electronic Attack (EA) *ECM

� Electronic Protection (EP) *ECCM

Page 6: Lesson 08 - EW

Electronic Support (ES)Electronic Support (ES)

• Passive surveillance of the EM spectrum to detect the enemy’s position, strength, and intention, and warning of targets

-Detection -Tracking

-Recognition -Targeting

-Warning -Destruction

-Avoidance

Page 7: Lesson 08 - EW

Passive EW (ES)

• ELINT – Electronic Intelligence– Foreign non-communications elecromagnetic

information

• COMINT – Communications Intelligence– Foreign communications transmissions

intercepted by other than the intended recipients

• Advantages and Limitations

Page 8: Lesson 08 - EW

ES Receiver Design Requirements

ES Receiver Design Requirements

• Wide spectrum surveillance

• Wide dynamic range

• Unwanted signal rejection

• Angle-of-Arrival measurement

• Signal Analysis capability

• Real-Time Display

• Recording System

Page 9: Lesson 08 - EW

Electronic Attack (EA)Electronic Attack (EA)

• Preventing or reducing the enemy’s use of the EM spectrum (capabilities) and promoting uncertainty

• “Black boxes” that jam or deceive the enemy

• Radar or communications “jamming”

Page 10: Lesson 08 - EW

Electronic Attack (EA)Electronic Attack (EA)

• Use of active and passive energy to “attack “– Personnel– Facilities– Equipment

• Four Classes of EA– Jamming – Modifiers – Radar-absorbing materials (RAM)– Physical Destruction

Page 11: Lesson 08 - EW

Non-Destructive EANon-Destructive EA

• Denial: overload opposition’s receiver to deny its use by the enemy• Jamming

• Noise• Spot• Barrage• Sweep

• Chaff• Flares

Page 12: Lesson 08 - EW

Noise Jamming

Definition:

Noise jamming is the deliberate radiation, re-radiation, or reflection of electromagnetic energy with the purpose of impairing the use of electronic devices, equipment, or systems being used by the enemy.

Non-Destructive EA (cont.)Non-Destructive EA (cont.)

• Deception: Create false image or change image’s characteristics on a radar display. Misleads or “spoofs”– Repeaters: delay received radar signal and

retransmitting at a slightly later time– Transponders: Create false signal by playing back a

stored replica of the radar signal– Chaff - disguise– Radar Decoys– Blip Enhancers– Radar Cross-Section (RCS) Modification

Electronic Protection (EP)

Definition:

EP is the division of electronic warfare involving actions taken to protect personnel, facilities and equipment from any effects of friendly or enemy employment of electronic warfare that degrade, neutralize or destroy friendly combat capability.

Page 32: Lesson 08 - EW

Electronic Protection (EP)Electronic Protection (EP)

• Protection of friendly combat capability against undesirable effect of friendly or enemy employed EW

• Types– Passive EW

– Active EW

Page 33: Lesson 08 - EW

Electronic Protection (EP)

• Three ways to defend from enemy EW– Modify radar

• Make it more complex • Make it harder to jam

– Modify the Medium • Chaff• Torch

– Modify the platform
