The Electronic Warfare in the emerging Air Power Scenarios Ing. S.A. Jesi (VP External Relations, Elettronica S.p.A.)

CONTENT A growing area of instability and threats Back to Cold War? EW in Air Power Scenarios EW critical issues in Air Power Scenarios Elettronica commitment to platforms self protection Short term challenges, long term challenges Discussion

CRISIS AREAS Crisis Areas

BACK TO COLD WAR Symmetric & Asymmetric threats coexistence: intelligence, interoperability, integration to better plan the future Budgeting constraints emphasize need of a growing UE rationalization UE Operational Requirements should be commonly and progressively defined Air Power system capability should be segmented accordingly, within ISTAR principles European Defence Policies have to be linked with industrial long term plans Centre of excellence, Key enabling technologies, Security of Supply policies have to be consequently implemented Common export rules, in terms of ToT and related controls, are part of this process

EW IN AIR POWER SCENARIOS Getting Prepared Intelligence Shared Situational Awareness (Common Operational Picture (COP)) Operational Support (emitter libraries generation and validation, up date, debriefing……) Supporting the Operations Tactical Situation Awareness Support Jammer (EW Radar) and/or Escort Jammer (EW Radar & COM) Net Centric Operations (Air to Air but also Air to Ground) On Board Self Protection Suites (EW Radar & IR) Special Operations: the Combat Search & Rescue (CSAR) case Logistics in expeditionary scenarios

EW CRITICAL ISSUES IN AIR POWER SCENARIOS From initial specification to phase out….50 years of operations Human value and human constraints: man machine interface (MMI), training & learning through the entire life cycle of the platforms (war gaming, obews case, Computer Aid Training) Networking, EW C2 at platform level The 5th dimension: the Cyberwarfare The manned and unmanned integration in the net, in the platform

ELETTRONICA COMMITMENT TO PLATFORM SELF/MUTUAL PROTECTION State of the art in technology State of the art in PASSIVE capabilities and techniques State of the art in Jamming (Hardware and Software) in the Radar, Infrared, Communication domains 60 years of Operations with and within Air Force Planning the future: networking, Cyberwarfare and RPAS payloads

SHORT TERM EW CHALLENGES From supplier to partner? DUAL Operations: opportunities and constraints Maintaining technological hedge through innovation (DUAL Tech opportunities?) New materials, new techniques, new technologies Expeditionary Integrated Logistic and Operational Support

LONG TERM EW CHALLENGES Net Centric Jamming (distributed sensors & actuators) Integrating Manned with RPAS platforms Integrating Manned with Unmanned single platform Operations
