What’s EW
The exploitation of the EM spectrum for attack, Surveilence or defence
Electronic Surveilence
Search
Intercept
DF
Analysis
Electronic attack
Jamming
Deception
Neutralisation (direct energy warfare)
Types of jamming
Spot-all power on 1 freq
Barrage-all power over all freqs
Sweep-changes freq
Responsive-listens to freq spectrum the jams when a TX is made
Types of deception
Imitative-entering thee emus network as a legitimate user
Manipulative-deliberate release of information through own emissions
Stimulative-simulate emissions in false locations
Types of electronic surveillance
Search-searching through the EM spectrum to find possible active target signals of interest (SOI)
Intercept-process of accurately manipulating a signal to gain information
DF-used to locate spires of
transmission (LOB/cut/fix)
Analysis- possible info gained
If you’re being jammed
Carry on TXing
Tell YoS
Never admit to being jammed
Pass back over secure by different means (PACE)
Neutralisation
Deliberate use of electromagnetic energy to temporarily/perminatly damage enemy devices which rely on EMS
Electronic defence
Active technical-use of active processes to eliminate the chance of interception like freq hopping
Active tactical-use of friendly freqs towards the enemy in a false manor allowing comms to go through unnoticed
Passive tactical-natural shields
Passive technical-direction radiation
Passive training-training

Electronic defence advisory note-advises you on countries defence against electronic attacks
