Electronic neutralization
Electronic neutralization — is the deliberate use of electromagnetic energy to either temporarily or permanently damage enemy devices which rely exclusively on the electromagnetic spectrum [The IT Law Wiki].
Electronic neutralization involves using the electromagnetic spectrum or directed energy to control the spectrum, attack an enemy, or impede enemy assaults. The purpose of electronic warfare is to deny the opponent the advantage of—and ensure friendly unimpeded access to—the electromagnetic spectrum. Electronic neutralization can be applied from air, sea, land, and space by crewed and uncrewed systems and can target communication, radar, or other military and civilian assets.
Military operations are executed in an information environment increasingly complicated by the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum portion of the information environment is referred to as the electromagnetic environment. The recognized need for military forces to have unimpeded access to and use the electromagnetic environment creates vulnerabilities and opportunities for electronic warfare in support of military operations [U. S. Department of Defense, p. 6].
