electronic warfare
Electromagnetic military operations
Electronic warfare is military action involving the electromagnetic spectrum—radio waves, radar, infrared, and similar signals.
It encompasses jamming enemy communications, intercepting transmissions, and protecting friendly systems from similar attacks.
The three main branches are electronic attack, electronic protection, and electronic support.
The aircraft was equipped for electronic warfare missions.
