Book excerpt: "Enemies protect their critical resources with sophisticated, technically advanced air defense systems. The US Air Force, Navy, and Marines rely on electronic attack (EA) aircraft to neutralize, destroy, degrade, or exploit air defense systems to mitigate combat risks during air strikes. Over the past decade, the Navy's EA-6B Prowler has been the backbone of the Department of Defense (DOD) airborne electronic attack arsenal. The scheduled retirement of the entire EA-6B inventory is in 2012. As the Prowler nears retirement, the Air Force must resolve how it plans to fill this critical function in a fiscally constrained environment aiming to recapitalize the fleet. Stealth technology is not a substitute for defense suppression. In reality, each capability complements the other. Stealth assets, like other forms of air warfare, are vulnerable to attack. Military technological advancements are promptly followed by designs and innovations to neutralize them. An overreliance on stealth capability puts the entire composite force structure at risk, especially if electronic warfare assets are not sufficient to provide adequate protection. As the Air Force moves forward, a comprehensive set of airborne electronic alternatives must be pursued to fill the EA capabilities gap staring Air Force leaders in the face. This paper proposes feasible, fiscally attainable near to mid-term EA alternatives to resolve this dilemma. Such initiatives require bold, prompt action by Air Force leaders to cement our stake in maintaining our grasp on the shield that protects coalition air assets during combat. If nothing is done, the Air Force's operational concept in the anti-access battlespace will be significantly altered."--Abstract.
Download or read book Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum written by Thomas Wildenberg and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval warfare was confined for centuries to surface combat, or undersea clashes. In the twentieth century aerial warfare became the third domain and shortly thereafter, the electromagnetic spectrum also appeared. Until now, little has been written about this important aspect of military conflict on the high seas. In Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum author Thomas Wildenberg provides the first book covering these aircraft, their missions, and the methodology of conducting combat in all its forms along this fourth domain, the electromagnetic spectrum. When navies began to make use of the airwaves, they soon discovered those waves could also be exploited as a source of information about the opposing force. This would later be termed Electronic Intelligence (ELINT). Navies learned the value of interrupting or corrupting the enemy’s communication signals that were transmitted in the “ether,” thus began a method of fighting termed Electronic Warfare (EW). Wildenberg cuts through the secrecy about this understandably mysterious domain of combat. He offers details on aircraft and methods and provides a layman’s set of definitions of terms. Wildenberg shares lessons learned from World War II skirmishes a as well as clashes in the Korean and Vietnam wars, while providing a Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum offers the reader a foundational understanding of this complex form of combat in all its forms. This volume discloses rarely covered concepts and methods which will shape future great power future conflict.

Book excerpt: "This study examines the adequacy of the current United States Department of Defense Airborne Electronic Attack strategy regarding support to future global strike operations. Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) is a vital element to successful global air strike operations as evidenced by operations during Vietnam and the Gulf War. Within an environment of fiscal austerity, modern day DOD Electronic Warfare Officers (EWOs) face significant Airborne Electronic Attack challenges in protecting strike assets by attempting to gain and maintain control of the electromagnetic spectrum. The current DOD AEA strategy must adequately address support to future global strike operations for these missions to remain relevant in future conflict."--Abstract.
Download or read book Tactics and Techniques of Electronic Warfare written by Bernard C. Nalty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The air campaign mounted against North Vietnam was the first time that an integrated air defense system based around radar-controlled guns and surface-to-air missiles had been encountered. Proponents of surface-to-air missiles had claimed that their lethality would drive manned aircraft from the battlefield. At first, the U.S. Air Force was hard-pressed to neutralize North Vietnam's radar-controlled defenses, but did prevail. Electronic countermeasures support for the air war against North Vietnam included stand-off jamming, Wild Weasel operations, the use of self protection pods, and the employment of chaff. Using all these techniques, Linebacker II saw the B-52s of Strategic Air Command facing the most effective air defense system the Soviet Union could provide. The B-52s won; the much-heralded surface-to-air missiles were scoring a lower kill rate than German defenses in World War Two. This campaign laid the foundations for the technology used by the USAF to neutralize enemy defenses ever since.

Book excerpt: Electronic warfare (EW) has been an important component of military air operations since the earliest days of radar. Radar, EW, and stealth techniques have evolved over time as engineers, scientists, and tacticians have struggled to create the most survivable and effective air force possible. Several recent events suggest that airborne EW merits congressional attention. Operation Allied Force, the 1999 NATO operation in Yugoslavia, appears to have marked an important watershed in the debate over current and future U.S. airborne EW. It appears that every air strike on Serbian targets was protected by radar jamming and/or suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD) aircraft. Electronic countermeasures self protection systems, such as towed radar decoys, were credited with saving numerous U.S. aircraft that had been targeted by Serbian surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The Department of Defense is engaged in numerous activities - such as research and development (R&D) programs, procurement programs, training, experimentation - that are designed to improve various electronic attack (EA), ECM, and SEAD capabilities both in the near and long term. These activities often cut across bureaucratic boundaries and defy easy categorization and oversight, which makes it difficult to determine and assess DoD-wide EW priorities. Often, it appears that DoD has no single, coherent plan coordinating all these efforts or setting priorities. The Clinton Administration's DoD budget request for FY2001 was the 106th Congress' first opportunity to exercise oversight of EW and SEAD programs in the post-Kosovo era. Congressional appropriations and authorization conferees often matched or exceeded DoD's request for EW and SEAD programs to ensure the survivability of numerous aircraft and to increase the military's ability to suppress or destroy enemy air defenses. Congress also disagreed with DoD plans, and reduced or constrained some programs accordingly. As part of its FY2002 budget oversight responsibilities, Congress can strongly influence DoD's EW force structure, aircraft survivability and air campaign effectiveness. Some issues Congress may consider include: 1) the overall level of DoD's electronic warfare spending, and its spending priorities within EW; 2) how DoD can wring the most warfighting capability out of its EA-6B force, which will be DoD's only radar jamming aircraft until 2010 or later; 3) why the Navy and Air Force are pursuing distinctive paths in addressing tomorrow's SEAD challenges, and whether the country is best served by pursuing both approaches; 4) why DoD and Congress appear to have distinct perspectives on the need to upgrade or replace key electronic countermeasures such as aircraft radar warning receivers.

Download or read book Reclaiming Lost Ground written by William F. Dobbs and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A survey of military innovation literature reveals three complementary models for how a military service evolves in its core mission areas, however, fringe mission development requires a fourth theory on how an organization allocates limited resources. Dr. Barry R. Posen identifies civilian intervention against resistant military leadership as the key item in military innovation. Dr. Stephen Peter Rosen concludes that military innovation occurs as the military institution recognizes it must change to meet new international security situations, and internal groups within the service compete. Owen Reid Coté offers a third proposition on the source of innovation; the military changes dramatically when services compete. Asa A. Clark, IV surveys how militaries reform under budgetary constraints. This thesis integrates the four mission development theories using an adaptation of John W. Kingdon garbage can model. This model consists of three independent streams: problems that are looking for solutions, solutions that are looking for problems and politics which sway participants toward particular solutions or problems. Additionally, the garbage can model offers some predictions as to when an opportunity may occur to reach a decision....Two key decisions in the development of Air Force AEA [Airborne Electronic Attack] were the retirement of the EF-111 and the cancellation of the B-52 Standoff Jammer. An analysis of these decisions with the adapted garbage can model as well as using each of the individual theorists reveals that the Air Force has treated AEA as a fringe mission."--Abstract.
