Challenge of Future EW System Design (Les Defis Poses par la Conception des Futurs Systemes).
Abstract
Electronic Warfare (EW) has emerged as a critical driving force in modem warfare. New generations of weapon systems directly impact EW requirements and strategies. Modern combat aircraft are faced with a drastic change of a possible threat scenario consisting of a mix of Western and Eastern weapon systems. The deployment of advanced pulse doppler radar systems in A/A and GIA application augmented by extensive electro-optic capabilities, directed energy weapons (laser or particle beam), electromagnetic/shockwave weapons requires a detailed reassessment of NATO EW processes. The complexity and diversity of future threat scenarios necessitate changes in NATO EW system concepts, and an update of existing equipment including modifications of tactics and combinations of EW resources to improve survivability.
