Electronic warfare (EW) refers to any action involving the use of the electromagnetic spectrum or directed energy to control the spectrum, attack an enemy, or impede enemy assaults via the spectrum. The purpose of electronic warfare is to deny the opponent the advantage of, and ensure friendly unimpeded access to, the EM spectrum. EW can be applied from air, sea, land, and space by manned and unmanned systems, and can target communication, radar, or other services. EW includes three major subdivisions: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Protection (EP), and Electronic warfare Support (ES).
Military operations are executed in an information environment increasingly complicated by the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum portion of the information environment is referred to as the electromagnetic environment (EME). The recognized need for military forces to have unimpeded access to and use of the electromagnetic environment creates vulnerabilities and opportunities for electronic warfare (EW) in support of military operations.
"I miss her body."
"Electronic warfare."
Free lives to live. A trap beside my soul.
Foreign chaser. Beaming target.
Lost my shield, it's bullet proof.
Pressing buttons and shifting gear,
you run away from what you fear.
She shoots to kill.
Electronic warfare.
"Electronic Warfare."
One life to go. You shoot before you aim.
I'm reaching for a killer tar, the only thing I claim.
Time is running out.
Suppose it's not a game?
You reload your gun.Electronic warfare.
