Electronic Warfare Training
Electronic warfare (EW) is a fight for control of the electromagnetic spectrum, relied upon for communications, situational awareness, weapons guidance and more.
This is clearly behind the Defense Department’s drive to rebuild its related arsenal after decades of post-Cold War atrophy and years spent in the Middle East fighting less technologically-savvy forces.
The electromagnetic spectrum is relied upon by militaries for communications, weapons guidance and situational awareness, among other vital uses. Electronic warfare wields the spectrum in an effort to detect, deceive or destroy.
The importance of EW cannot be overemphasized. Having an adversary monitor one’s communications or eliminate one’s ability to communicate or navigate can be catastrophic.
Also, having an adversary know the location of friendly forces based on their electronic transmissions is highly undesirable and can put those forces at a substantial disadvantage.
One aspect of EW involves reconnaissance and surveillance of the electromagnetic environment to gain situational awareness, an activity traditionally called electronic support measures (ESM), which can be further broken down into radar electronic support measures (RESM) and communication electronic support measures.
Today, the branch of EW concerned with detection, direction finding, locating, interception, identification, recording and analysis of radar and communications signals is called electronic support (ES).
Forbes has called EW the future of conflict.
The Department of Defense has become so committed to EW that the U.S. Army is now building an electronic warfare training ground at Fort Gordon. A more advanced education for electronic warfare users is now required because EW itself continues evolving
Like most other areas of technology, new EW systems are being constructed to integrate with modern tools and applications.
For example, the US Naval Air Systems Command (NAC) has adopted digital twin modelling for its Airborne Electronic Attack Systems Program (PMA-234).
The digital twin can be modified and used in a computer simulation as it would in the real world but with the added benefit of error-free manipulation perfect for the stealth world of electronic warfare.
The Navy’s new digital practice enables the agency to improve the program’s readiness, explore new capabilities, and expedite training.
Artificial intelligence technology is also being folded into EW systems.
AI can transform “simple” predictive, rule-driven coding — hand-engineered solutions for specific problems, such as radios that automatically switch to unused frequencies when encountering interference — to agile ML systems trained on large datasets to develop complete spectrum awareness
