Cyber & Electronic Warfare

9 Articles

The electromagnetic spectrum and cyberspace have become critical domains of military competition. Explore electronic warfare, cyber operations, signals intelligence, and the invisible battles fought across networks and frequencies.

Cyber and electronic warfare have emerged as critical domains where military advantage is won or lost before a single shot is fired. Control of the electromagnetic spectrum, the ability to jam enemy radars, spoof GPS signals, intercept communications, and defend networks from intrusion, now determines whether conventional weapons systems can even function in contested environments. Nations that dominate these invisible domains hold a decisive edge.

Our cyber and electronic warfare coverage examines the technologies, operations, and strategic implications of fighting in the electromagnetic spectrum and cyberspace. Explore how electronic attack systems can blind enemy air defenses, why signals intelligence capabilities like those aboard the EA-18G Growler are force multipliers in every major operation, and how state-sponsored cyber attacks against military infrastructure are reshaping the threat landscape. We analyze the hardware, jamming pods, electronic support measures, and cyber weapons, alongside the doctrinal questions about how militaries integrate these capabilities into conventional operations.

How Russia's Electronic Warfare Blinded Ukrainian Drones, and How Ukraine Fought Back

Russia deployed the densest electronic warfare environment in modern history to neutralize Ukraine's drone advantage. GPS signals vanished, HIMARS accuracy plummeted, and FPV drones lost their video feeds mid-flight. Then Ukraine adapted with fiber-optic tethers, $70 AI vision modules, and autonomous navigation, turning the invisible battlefield into the defining contest of the war.
