Sequence • Flashback • Technological Advances • Present Scenario • Current Developments • Operational Approach • Suggested Measures • Other Aspects
3 Fl Flashback :W :Worl rld Wa War II • Freya radar, Wurzburg, C2 Center, Neptune • ECM – Mandrel, Carpet • Integrated Air Defence (IADS)- Germany- Night fighters, AAA • RWR- Naxos, Flensberg. 4/2/20
Fl Flashback k Vie Vietnam nam War ar • SAM 2 shot down Phantom • ECM equipment inducted, ECCM followed. • Wild weasel missions with ARM • PGM introduced • RPVs and C2 elements inducted • EA6B Prowler Stand Off Jammer • Attrition rate reduced by 10 times. • Phantoms without guns 4/2/20 4
5 Fl Flashback- Yo Yom Ki Kippur r War r 1973 • Surprise induction of SAM 6,Schilka & SA 7 • Counter measures took time • Effective Review of tactics • Israelis captured SA6 and Schilka to develop tactics. 4/2/20
Fl Flash shback :Beka Valley 1982 1982 Fi First War r of f Lebanon • Networked and coordinated campaign • E2C early warning, Boeing 707, COMJAM deployed • Decoys, UAVs and ARMs employed • PGMs employed • Template for subsequent wars. 4/2/20 6
Tech chnological Advance ces • Computational power • Communication network • Sensor technology • EM spectrum exploitation • Space based assets • Non- kinetic systems 4/2/20 7
Pres esen ent Scen enario • Integrated Air Defence Systems • Net-centric Operations • Multispectral sensors • Airborne Sensors • Long range SAMs/AAMs • Laser weapons maturing • Space domain 4/2/20 8
Cu Current Developments • EA- 18G – NGJ • Eurofighter • Saab Gripen- EAJP Bottom line Modular, Scalable, open system architecture. Upgraded Datalinks. Multispectral Capability 4/2/20 10
Op Operational Approach ch • Stand off weapons – ASSM(ER),SCALP/ STORM SHADOW SPICE • Stealth technology • Comprehensive EW suite • Endgame Engagement 4/2/20 11
Su Suggested a approach ch t to EW EW effec ectiven eness ess • Exploit technology • Networked SIGINT • AI enabled analysis • Networked EW action • Endgame strategy • Cognitive EW systems • Option to choose the best array of arrows 4/2/20 12
Ot Other A er Aspect ects Realistically Consider evaluate systems upgradable requirement- M&S capabilities Data links are Realistic training getting crucial for operations 4/2/20 14
Conclusion • Need for advanced wide band EW systems . • Open & Flexible Architecture • Global EW Market forecast $30 Billion between 2018-2028. • Growing need of indigenization and Collaborative Production • Exploit technology with judicious operational concepts. 4/2/20 15
