Space Electronic Warfare Certificate (SEWC)™ Training by Tonex, Space EW Training

Space EW Training, The Space Electronic Warfare Certificate (SEWC)™ Training by Tonex is a comprehensive program designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills required to understand, navigate, and excel in the complex domain of space-based electronic warfare. This training program explores the vital intersection of space and electronic warfare, providing participants with valuable insights into the evolving landscape of space threats and countermeasures.

Many feel that space is the new frontier of electronic warfare (EW), intelligence, and reconnaissance.

Electronic warfare in general is activity in the electromagnetic spectrum to impede the hostile activities of an enemy and is a vital and proven capability for operating successfully in complex, contested environments.

Space electronic warfare includes the operation of satellite jammers and equipment used to detect adversary jamming.

According to the U.S. Department of Defense, space electronic warfare support information can be correlated with other intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance information to provide a more accurate picture of the EM operational environment and therefore a better understanding of the battlespace.

This information can be developed into an electromagnetic order of battle for situational awareness and may be used to develop new countermeasures. The relationship between space ES and signals intelligence (SIGINT), which includes electromagnetic intelligence and communications intelligence, is close because they share common functions of search, interception, identification, location, and exploitation of EM radiation.

The U.S. Space Force has taken the lead in exploring the reality of space electronic warfare.

The U.S. chief space operations Gen. Chance Saltzman in September announced the Space Force will experiment with a new command structure where a unit is responsible for all aspects of a mission area, including training, procurement and operations.

Two integrated units will be established, each run by a Space Force colonel — one for space electronic warfare; and the other for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) satellites.
