Description
In Principles of Electronic Warfare, the authors present a comprehensive overview of electronic warfare technology and tactics in the space age, written for systems engineers and operational planners. In today’s operational environment, the design of military and naval communications, navigation, radar, and weapons systems must fully integrate electronic warfare principles if equipment is to survive and operate effectively under hostile conditions. Adopting a broad systems approach, this book brings together the technical and strategic elements that define modern electronic conflict.
In this unabridged re-release of a respected reference work, Schlesinger and his colleagues examine the contribution of electronic warfare to the successful execution of military and naval missions. Key topics include radar countermeasure techniques, electronic intelligence (ELINT), air combat analysis, the characteristics of the space environment, and the optimization of payloads between weapons and electronic countermeasures (ECM).
By the close of the Second World War, the complexity of weapon systems had increased dramatically—a trend that has only accelerated. Electronics has become the primary driver of this complexity, enabling advanced target detection while providing the command-and-control links necessary to guide weapons accurately. It was therefore inevitable that methods would be developed to disrupt or neutralize these critical functions.
Just as fire is fought with fire, electronic weapon systems are countered with electronic countermeasures—giving rise to the concept of electronic warfare. Beginning with fundamental principles, Principles of Electronic Warfare analyzes the engineering challenges involved in deploying electronic systems within the military environment. Moving beyond narrow technical detail, it maintains mathematical exposition at a clear and accessible level while linking engineering science with military strategy. The result is a foundational work that offers a broad, coherent understanding of the principles and challenges of electronic warfare.
