Războiul electronic – un dragon trezit la viață
Electronic warfare – a dragon awakened to life

Summary/Abstract: Who could have guessed 120 years ago, when electronic warfare (EW) was accidentally discovered, that it would have such a big impact on battlefield? For almost 30 years, after the cold war ended, electronic warfare was forgotten, but the war from Ukraine, revived it again. What’s in an electronic warfare system? It is an integrated, autonomous, portable or vehicle mounted electronic system, whether configured to attack, protect or support, must have a way to collect and make sense of the signals in its environment. Electronic warfare systems can be configured for a variety of different missions and use a lot of different subsystems. It must identify what’s out there, understand how it is using the spectrum, and determining if it is a threat. The system must then neutralize it and passes the threat data to the technique generator which determines how the system should respond to address the threat. For an electronic system to conduct electronic attack or electronic protect missions, it must be able to broadcast signals of its own to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum. Once a threat is analyzed, and a response generated, it is the ability of the EW system’s transmitters to precisely radiate electromagnetic energy that makes jamming, spoofing, deception and other electronic activities.
