Electronic Warfare
Military action to Exploit the Electromagnetic Spectrum
(EMS) which encompasses the interception and
identification of EM emissions, the employment of EM
energy, including directed energy, to Reduce or Prevent
hostile use of the EMS and actions to ensure its effective
use by own/friendly forces. EW enables EM Situational
Awareness (SA) which critically informs decision
making and the execution of Joint Effects/Action.
Note – this statement should also include elements of Cyber

EM Operating Environment
Complex, Congested and Contested - EME Situational Awareness critically
Informs and/or enables: Planning, C2, manoeuvre, exploitation, denial,

EME & UK Defence EW 1980 – 2014 +Period EME Defence EW
1980 - 2000 Analogue, emerging digital caps,
limited proliferation and
commercial exploitation
Traditional War Fighting - EW focus
maintained across ES, EA, ED and SIGINT
DLoDs. EW Governance, C2, Doctrine,
training established and enabled.
2000 - 2013 Digitisation and non-traditional
emitter technology development ,
proliferation, EMS Commercial
exploitation, Cyber, Asymmetric
applications
COIN – EW shift to protection aspects of ES,
EA, ED. ELINT and Collect caps reduced.
Limited EW Governance, C2, Doctrine and
training focus. Capability Development failed
to integrate and enable all aspects of the EW
Defence Lines of Development, particularly
Training and Information (data).
2014 – 2025+ Above +
Complex, Congested & Contested
Post Libya/Syria lessons – increased EME
and EW awareness. 5th+ Generation
capability data requirements, recognition of
non-equipment DLoD aspects (especially
Governance, C2, training, people,
information), ELINT.

UK Defence Review of EW (Jan 2013)
Identify the risk to Defence outputs caused by de-
investment
Develop a coherent model for exploitation of the
EME
Recognise synergies between EW and Cyber
Build on existing National and International EW
relations
Update National EW policy
Produce a National EW Operating directive
Joint Electronic Warfare Operational Support Centre
Review Scope Background - Relevance of EME and EW interfaces
EME Framework - Policy, Command, Spectrum Management, MOUs
Capability Stocktake - Evidence based against Risks, Scenarios
Organisation - Joint and single service elements engaged in EW activities
Governance & Tasking - Collection & Analysis tasking mechanisms &
Governance models
Manpower & Training - Skills & training. Manpower Review & Cyber career
stream work
Future of EME - Evidenced view of future EM environment & challenges

Review Outcomes
Key Points• Risks, weaknesses, capability gaps & incoherency across ES, EA, ED and
EM components of EW
Recommendations• Some quick wins – Governance, Tasking
• Some longer term – Equipment, People and training
• Improved coherency (Included DEWC move to JEWOSC)
Summary• Lacked EW champion for years
• No Joint oversight of pan-DLOD issues; ES, EA, ED, EM activities
• Equip often Urgent Operational Requirement derived, single service specific and not sustained
• Establish operating coherence with Cyber, IO and ISR
• EW “effects” not considered in the round – lack of whole EM spectrum Management, Planning & Operational C2
• Various Governance, Tasking, Project lines
• The need to reinvigorate collaborative working with Allies and partners

End-to-End EME Operating Process
Joint Electronic Warfare Operational Support Centre
Initial Actions
Establish UK Defence Authority for EW – Comd JFC
EW Policy set & issued under CDI leadership, consistent with NATO (29 May 14)
Delegate specific EW responsibilities for Develop, Plan, Manage, Deliver, Generate and Operate functions
EW Delivery Programme (equip & enablers) established – ES,EA,ED and EM
Establish Joint EW operational planning team (EM Battlestaff)
Develop Joint EW Operating Directive
Develop a 1 Star Joint Force EW Group
EW Capability assessment in advance of SDSR 15

Summary
Work is progressing – much more to do
EW has become more complex
• Art of the possible vs risk
It must be carried out with less resource
• Efficiencies, collaboration, partnerships
Equipment is only part of the solution
• Other Defence Lines of EW Development are equally as important
Sustainability is key
• Must have Governance, resilience and through-life support solutions
Collaboration and Integration is Key
