ELECTRONIC WARFARE A Seminar Report
[attachment=56992]
ABSTRACT
The paper gives the information about the military organizations. In present-day operational scenarios, it is becoming increasingly important for armed forces to establish information-gathering superiority. Electronic warfare (EW) refers to any action involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) or directed energy (DE) to control the EMS or to attack the enemy. The goal of electronic warfare is to control the electromagnetic spectrum.
EW includes three major subdivisions:
Electronic Warfare Support (ES)
Electronic Attack (EA)
Electronic Protect (EP)
Electronic Attack: Use of electromagnetic energy, directed energy, or anti radiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities, or equipment with the intent of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability and is considered a form of fires.
What is Electronic Warfare?
Electronic warfare (EW) refers to any action involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) or directed energy (DE) to control the EMS or to attack the enemy.
The purpose of EW is to deny the opponent an advantage in the EMS and ensure friendly unimpeded access to the EM spectrum portion of the information environment. EW can be applied from air, sea, land, and space by manned and unmanned systems.
Electronic Warfare Support:
Actions tasked by, or under direct control of, an operational commander to search for, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and conduct of future operations.
Electronic Attack
Electronic attack includes—
Actions taken to prevent or reduce an enemy’s effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as jamming and electromagnetic deception.
Employment of weapons that use either electromagnetic or directed energy as their primary destructive mechanism. Offensive and defensive activities including countermeasures.
Common types of electronic attack include spot, barrage, and sweep electromagnetic jamming.
Electronic attack actions also include various electromagnetic deception techniques such as false target or duplicate target generation.
What is Stealth technology?
Stealth or low observability (as it is scientifically known) is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted concepts in military aviation by the common man. Stealth aircraft are considered as invisible aircraft, which dominate the skies. Though, the debate still continues on whether stealth technology can make an aircraft invincible it was found that stealth aircraft are detectable by radar.
The motive behind incorporating stealth technology in an aircraft is not just to avoid missiles being fired at is but also to give total deniability to covert operations. This is very much useful to strike targets where it is impossible to reach. Thus we can clearly say that the job of a stealth aircraft pilot is not to let others know that he was ever there.
What is Stealth?
In simple terms, stealth technology allows an aircraft to be partially invisible to Radar or any other means of detection. This doesn't allow the aircraft to be fully invisible on radar. Stealth technology cannot make the aircraft invisible to enemy or friendly radar. All it can do is to reduce the detection range or an aircraft. This is similar to the camouflage tactics used by soldiers in jungle warfare. Unless the soldier comes near you, you can't see him. Though this gives a clear and safe striking distance for the aircraft, there is still a threat from radar systems, which can detect stealth aircraft.
CONCLUSION:
Enlightening future:
Electronic warfare through effective use of detection, denial, deception, disruption, and destruction provides timely intelligence, enhances combat power by disrupting the enemy’s use of the electromagnetic spectrum at critical times, and ensures continued friendly use of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The synergistic effects of various EW techniques can significantly disrupt an IADS, sensors, communication links, weapon systems, and C2. Jamming, chaff, and decoys degrade the enemy’s ability to find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess.
Radar-guided weapon systems that survive destruction attempts lose some effectiveness in an EW environment. In short, the probability of success is greatly increased when EW is properly employed. Electronic warfare is a key element in the successful employment of air and space forces.
