DON'T MISS TOMORROW'S WEBINAR: Land Electronic Warfare in the Asymmetric Battlespace, July 13
Thursday, July 13 | 14:00-15:00 EST (18:00-19:00 UTC)

Electronic Warfare (EW) is a force multiplier and a must for any Commander. For example, most are aware of how the Russian Army is conducting successful EW operations on a daily basis against Ukraine. In today’s complex, asymmetric battlespace, information and spectrum dominance is vital to defeat the enemy. EW is the Commander’s not so secret weapon that provides answers at both the tactical and strategic level.

The RF spectrum is a congested environment and there are conflicting requirements and major interoperability decisions to be made between those who want to collect, those who want to interfere and those who would like to influence. To manage these aspirations there needs to be a fundamental concept of Battlespace Spectrum Management (BSM), considered and proper use of deployed Land EW assets and how they integrate with other activities. The Radio Controlled IED (RCIED) continues to be a weapon of choice for adversaries around the globe, the addition of this threat and force protection equipment greatly complicates matters.

During the webinar on 13th of July, we will set the scene for the training classes with an overview of the 3 elements that are bound together under the EW banner. We will look at today’s Land EW picture and how it needs to configured and deployed to answer Commander’s RFI’s and how modern ES systems provide the practitioner with the tools to exploit the RF spectrum. This will naturally follow on to BSM and how this capability addresses the confliction between all the spectrum uses in a defined area. The third part of the training classes is a detailed look at the RCIED and ECM/counter RCIED EW (CREW) systems. During this part of the webex we will look at the current global RCIED threat and the support that ensures that friendly forces are as well prepared as possible for dealing with this area of operations.
