2. 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

3. CRISIS AREAS
Crisis Areas

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

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