Here is an outline of a 2016 article on electronic warfare.
Now need to augment this outline with an more complete list of military hardware, especially aircraft that we can track on ADSB.
'''Quick Survey of the State of the Art in
ELECTRONIC WARFARE'''
Outline Author: Anon (15 July 2019)
Goals and Techniques
Prevent armed U.S. drone from being hacked, jammed or coopted by enemy
Challenge potential adversariesโ electromagnetic systems (EMS), imposing a cost
Use electromagnetic (EM) weapons to destroy, intercept or jam approaching enemy missiles, drones, rockets or aircraft โ far less expensive than physical interception by missiles
Improve electronic warfare (EW) modeling and simulation to better prepare for emerging weapons systems
Systems Under Development (as of Dec 16, 2016)
Eagle Passive Active Warning Survivability System (EPAWSS) โ Boeing funded to develop โ to replace Tactical Electronic Warfare Suite used since 1980s
Active Electronically Scanned [Radar] Array (AESA) โ high-powered radar that confuses incoming radar pings by transmitting (jamming) on same frequency. Can jam multiple frequencie at once, increasing scope/effectiveness. Interfere with ground-and-air based threats such as enemy fighter jets trying to get a missile "lock" on a target
Next-Generation Jammer โ allow strike aircraft to approach and destroy enemy targets while avoiding detection by modern surface-to-air missile defenses.
Aircraft
Air Force
EC-130H ("Compass Call") โ C-130 Hercules with electronic jamming devices and crew of 13
F-15C โ AESA deployment planned 2021
F-35 Joint Strike Fighter โ AESA deployment planned, date not given
Some (unspecified) new tech in the pipe for deployment thru 2032
Navy
EA-18G Growler aircraft to have Next-Generation Jammer (NGJ) based on AESA โ two 15-foot long pods that emit radar-jamming signals. Deployment planned 2021, to replace existing ALQ 99 electronic warfare jammer currently on Navy Growler aircraft.
Land-Based
Army
Fielding many techniques to jam roadside bombs โ Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) โ to delay or prevent detonation and soldier injury.
Next generation to replace vehicle-mounted Duke V2 and Warlock jammers.
Duke V3 vehicle-mounted jammer now fielded on thousands of vehicles in theater.
Thor III soldier-portable counter-RCIED jammer provides protective envelope for dismounted small units on patrol. IDs and jams range of RF signals. Still in use.
GATOR V2 โ 107-foot surveillance tower with transmit and receive antennas to ID, detect, triangulate, and disrupt electronic signals. Geolocates signals within battle space in conjunction with digital mapping software.
Wolfhound radio frequency direction-finder โ locate enemy command and control nodes. Trial fielded 2009. Geo-locates RF transmitters on certain bands. Provides soldiers with key battle-relevant threat information. Soldier or vehicle-mounted.
