Electronic warfare (EW) is a rapidly evolving field that is steadily increasing in prominence as nations look to gain the edge in the next generation of conflict technology.
The global electronic warfare market reached a value of $16.52 billion in 2021 with an expected value of $23.17 billion by 2027.
Not long ago the Pentagon published an Electronic Warfare strategy that calls for increased investment in advanced electronic warfare technology designed to defend U.S. assets and proactively use the electromagnetic spectrum against enemies.
With this kind of commitment to EW, it may not be that long before the technology exists to cloak military aircraft and Naval vessels and make them vanish the way the Klingons did it in Star Trek.
Today, current EW tools consist of devices for jamming, eavesdropping and using radio waves or laser light to confuse or disable an enemy’s electronics.
The U.S. push for more advanced Electronic Warfare technology is understandable given the crucial strategic role EW now plays in support of the military objectives of U.S. adversaries – especially Russia.
Electronic warfare has proven to be particularly useful in information operations (IO), the integrated employment, during military operations, of information-related capabilities in concert with other lines of operation (LOOs) to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the decision making of adversaries and potential adversaries while protecting those of friendly forces.
Electronic warfare and radar systems are on the verge of rapid innovation toward new capabilities and improved performances.
For example, the need to integrate stealth technology and electronic warfare systems into military equipment is anticipated to act as a major demand driver for EW systems, as stealth technology on its own will not be sufficient to combat A2/AD threats in the future.
An aircraft, for instance, is required to be able to detect radio frequency electromagnetic emissions of enemy aircraft while simultaneously leveraging its own stealth capabilities.
If a low observable aircraft operates in a single frequency band, it would be easily detected by adversary aircraft which is why stealth aircraft must be supported by EW capabilities so that they can operate over the extensive range of the electronic spectrum and possess jamming capabilities to take care of airstrikes.
