LeadingEdge: Challenges and Solutions for the 21st Century, Electromagnetic Environmental Effects. Volume 7, Issue 1, 2009
Abstract
Communications, electronics, and sensor systems aboard U.S. naval ships and submarines must operate effectively in order to support the execution of military missions and operations. Whether operating alone or with coalition forces, the Navy must be prepared to execute its missions anywhere in the world and under any condition. We must also be prepared to operate effectively throughout the entire frequency spectrum. As such, the Navy's systems must operate and interoperate safely and effectively without interfering with or degrading the system performance of other systems aboard ship. It is also necessary that U.S. systems do not impact, or be impacted by, other coalition or adversary systems operating in the same electromagnetic environment. This issue of The Leading Edge, sponsored by the NAVSEA Warfare Centers, is dedicated to the critically important area of electromagnetic environmental effects, otherwise referred to as E3. It is an area that touches all naval operations -- afloat and ashore, and all spectrums of conflict. So, whether the Navy's actions involve combating traditional adversaries, countering terrorism, thwarting pirates, responding to natural disasters, or supporting humanitarian operations, the Navy's systems must operate effectively and reliably in the electromagnetic environment in order for its missions to succeed. Ensuring that the Navy's missions succeed underlies one of the NAVSEA Warfare Centers' most important roles.
