Download or read book Technology in Warefare written by Abdul Karim Baram and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, through World Wars I and II and up to the present day, the field of electronic warfare has developed at a truly astonishing speed. The early use of radio to organize and coordinate basic naval actions over 100 years ago has evolved into today’s staggeringly complex Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) networks that enable field commanders to coordinate massive, multi-faceted military engagements from a single point of command. Unlike the trenches of the early 20th century, the front-lines of modern wars are often difficult to define unless viewed through the prism of the electronic systems that control troops, locate and identify targets, aim long-range missiles, or coordinate air strikes. The electronic warfare component of modern battle is now so vital to the overall concept of warfare that a large proportion of hostile activity is conducted in the invisible world of “battlespace,” separate although crucial to that of the physical theater of operations. In this other realm, parallel wars are waged and unseen conflicts for control and exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum ensue. Technology in Warfare charts the development of a field which continues to evolve, often in unexpected directions, with electronic warfare devices constantly advancing to meet the latest threats and challenges in a seemingly endless cycle of counter-measures and counter-counter-measures. From the successes of Winston Churchill’s “Wizard War” to the crushing defeat of Saddam Hussein’s forces in the 1990–91 Gulf War, this book examines electronic warfare’s great influence on the outcomes of modern conflicts, and attempts to provide insight on the future development of a field which – although rarely credited as such – represents one of the most vitally important aspects of warfare over the last century. As Sergei Gorshkov, former Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union, once remarked, “the next war will be won by the side that best exploits the electromagnetic spectrum,” a statement that is arguably even more relevant today.
Download or read book Aircraft Electronic Warfare written by John Edward Waters and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After his Navy enlistment and college, the author's career was as an Army Civilian Project Engineer for Electronic Warfare systems for more than twenty years, then five years as a consulting engineer for other military systems. The book contains 61 brief original stand-alone chapters with 67 images for easy reading and viewing by the general public. There are also 39 addenda. He has chapters that report his special projects with the Joint Special Operations Command, the Space & Missile Systems Center, NASA, the Navy SEALS, CIA, Army Delta Force, and the Army Missile Command. In the book, the author explains why he expedited a contract award for 2,000 radar locator systems (AN/APR-39), then had them installed in Army helicopters before the possible start of World War III. He also discusses an invitation to visit the White House, then a productive outcome as a result of that meeting, and later a second invitation when his daughter was a White House volunteer. He shares stories from a POW pilot as they flew low-altitude test flights above the Chesapeake Bay, and why they broke their pencils in half prior to their first flight. Other chapters cover use of the author's radar locator to return a helicopter to the airport after the pilot could not see his ground visual aids due to a dense fog, and combat use of the author's airborne radar locators on attack helicopters a few hours before the start of Desert Storm. The unsuccessful mission to free the hostages in Iran that was aborted when two aircraft collided in the Iranian desert, is also covered in the book. The world knew about that failed mission, but the world does not know about the second mission to free the hostages; the author was a technical advisor for the second mission. The author shares an amusing meeting on a YMCA pool deck with the world record-holder for the breast stroke, followed by a meeting with a US Military Academy, West Point, cadet that had a sad ending. He covers pilot comments about a young couple who tried to escape from East Germany a month before as they flew along the Fulda Gap in East Germany. Read about the author's helicopter flight along the DMZ in Korea and his report. The author taught his radar locator operations at worldwide briefings to pilots and he added unofficial tactics recommendations. The author discusses his friend Leonard Lomell, who a historian called the person most responsible for our successful landings on D-Day, second only to General Eisenhower, and what Lomell did to earn that accolade.The author reports on countermeasures against the Soviet SA-7 heat-seeking missile in Vietnam. His son, Colonel Jay Waters, was deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, and the base commander's unique solution that stopped the mortar shelling is discussed in the book. The author's recommendation to the Army Communications and Electronics Command for a contract award for a specific Remotely Piloted Vehicle is included. The author covers his actions as an undercover agent for a national counter criminal agency. Cold Weather Test and meeting in Alaska, plus meetings in Honduras and the Panama Canal Zone, and TOP SECRET meeting in the Sensitive Compartment Information Facility are also covered. The author also discussed his proposal for a barrier on the Mexican border.

Download or read book The Growing Threat to Air Force Mission Critical Electronics written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-performance electronics are key to the U.S. Air Force's (USAF's) ability to deliver lethal effects at the time and location of their choosing. Additionally, these electronic systems must be able to withstand not only the rigors of the battlefield but be able to perform the needed mission while under cyber and electronic warfare (EW) attack. This requires a high degree of assurance that they are both physically reliable and resistant to adversary actions throughout their life cycle from design to sustainment. In 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop titled Optimizing the Air Force Acquisition Strategy of Secure and Reliable Electronic Components, and released a summary of the workshop. This publication serves as a follow-on to provide recommendations to the USAF acquisition community.

Download or read book Sparks Over Vietnam written by Gilles Van Nederveen and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study underscores the important use of electronic intelligence and jamming as an electronic countermeasure. Three decades ago, the USAF faced a North Vietnamese electronic air defense threat about which little was known. Through some extraordinary efforts, the USAF ably countered that threat employing an obsolete aircraft, the EB-66, only refitted and upgraded for mid 1960s missions. Since the aircraft was at the end of its projected lifecycle, and a new jammer was on the drawing board, the air staff would not fund additional EB-66 modifications and maintenance requirements. Parallels are easy to draw with today's jammers, as essentially the same situation exists with the EA-6B. The number of EB-66 aircraft during the Vietnam War was inadequate to meet both operational and training requirements. Thus, crews were trained on the job, often during combat operations, and the "boneyard" at Davis-Monthan was often the site of scavenger hunts for repair parts needed to keep the aircraft aloft. The advent of the Pueblo crisis created an additional demand for the EB-66 forcing a partial redeployment of the fleet from Thailand to Korea. Training assets were also flown from Shaw to Germany during the same period to monitor the escalating air defense threat in the Warsaw Pact nations. Missions and employment doctrine had to change to match electronic counters by adversaries from all directions.
