Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Aug. 15 | 2 PM ET

Although Electronic Warfare (EW) has grown in importance over the years, few naval historians, with the exception of those interested in cryptology, have attempted to document the growth and development of the equipment, techniques, and operational use of EW. There are several reasons for this. First, the high level of secrecy surround EW; information is hard to come by. Next, is the fact that there is little glory attached to its use, and lastly, it is highly technical in nature.

In this Webinar, I will cut through the secrecy surrounding the mysterious domain of EW, and recount the history of the Navy’s involvement in the development and use of EW aircraft and the specialized equipment designed specifically for the EW mission. The discussion will be of a general nature without having to rely on complicated mathematical equations or complex technical discussions of the electronic methods employed. Along the way I will try to point out the important contributions made by certain mid-level personnel that were critical in advancing Navy and Marine Corp capabilities in conducting EW operations. Part of my objective in presenting this information is to provide insight into the lessons learned so that future military leaders and planners will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
