Sophisticated Threats Raise Stakes in Electronic Warfare Conflicts
白皮书
Most modern military conflicts begin beyond the sight of the naked eye. Through all domains – land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace — military forces fight for dominance of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. These forces use the EM spectrum to detect enemy forces, deceive them, or disrupt their efforts. With different forms of electronic attack, they can weaken, disable, or even devastate their enemy’s spectrum usage. The adaptive nature of these EM spectrum operations makes it difficult to stay a step ahead of them. At the same time, widely available and greatly improved technology translates into more adversaries in the electronic warfare (EW) domain. Today’s EW environment increasingly features unknown actors producing responsive, unpredictable threats.
