Electronic Warfare (EW)
Electronic warfare (EW) – military action that exploits electromagnetic energy to provide situational awareness and achieve offensive and defensive effects.
The purpose of electronic warfare is to deny the opponent the advantage of—and ensure friendly unimpeded access to—the EM spectrum. EW 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.
Electronic warfare includes all actions in the entire electromagnetic spectrum to intercept, analyze, manipulate, or suppress the enemy's use of the spectrum as well as to protect friendly use of the spectrum from a similar attack by an enemy—to be considered an element of the technological aspect of strategy and an element of the combat power of the United States armed forces. The electromagnetic spectrum includes the spectrum's visible and invisible ranges, measured in megahertz. The use of signals intercepting, locating, identifying, detecting, jamming, disrupting, deceiving, protecting, analyzing, and cryptanalysis is electronic warfare. Electronic warfare can provide intelligence or combat power like jamming, disruption, or deception [ScienceDirect Topics].
