      Introduction

      Electronic warfare (EW) is a critical component of modern military operations and has undergone significant advances in recent years. It is a multifaceted field of warfare that involves manipulating the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum to gain a tactical advantage.

      The recent explosive development of emerging technologies has radically changed war strategies. As the modern battlespace has become more sophisticated, military operations are executed in an increasingly complex electromagnetic environment. Military operations now depend heavily on controlling the electromagnetic spectrum that can disrupt the flow of data by targeting, exploiting, degrading, deceiving, damaging, or destroying adversary electronic systems. The part of the electromagnetic spectrum of the information environment is called electromagnetic environment (EME).

      In this context, gaining and maintaining an advantage in modern warfare requires a range of EW solutions, new solutions that can target and exploit system vulnerabilities, and that can significantly alter military deception operations (MILDEC), improving joint operations and C&C warfare.

      Artificial intelligence has developed explosively in recent years, with applications such as object recognition, natural language processing, and automatic speech recognition. Machine learning (ML) techniques have generated interest in EW for emitter identification, autonomous resource allocation, and automation.

      The emergence of artificial intelligence has revolutionized various fields, and electronic warfare is no exception.

      Electronic warfare

      Electronic warfare (EW) assists air, ground, naval, and space forces at multiple levels of conflict by limiting the use of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum (Lazarov 2019). A nation's defense system relies on EMS for its command and control (C&C) infrastructure, communications links, weapon systems, and support technologies.

      EW enables kinetic warfare, which is simply ineffective in modern warfare without EW (Duke 2023).

      Definitions

      Electronic warfare (EW) includes Military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy. (Army 2016).

      Electronic warfare includes three major subdivisions: electronic attack (EA), electronic protection (EP), and electronic warfare support (ES) (Army 2000, sec. I–1).

      Electronic warfare refers to the use of electronic means in EMS to disrupt, deny, degrade, or deceive an adversary's information or communications systems without causing physical damage (Army 1996).

      Information: Facts, data, or instructions in any medium or form. Information also refers to the meaning a human assigns to data through the known conventions used in representing it (Army 2016).

      Information Operation (IO): IO is described as the integrated engagement of electronic warfare (EW), computer network operations (CNO), psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception (MILDEC), and operations security (OPSEC), along with specified support and related capabilities, to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp adversarial and automated human decision-making while protecting us (Army 2020a).

      Information Warfare (IW): Information operations conducted during a crisis or conflict to achieve or advance specific objectives on an adversary.

      Information superiority: A state of equilibrium in one's favor in the information domain (Army 2020b, 8) or the operational advantage derived from the ability to collect, process, and disseminate an uninterrupted flow of information while exploiting or denying an adversary's ability to do the same (Army 2016, 257).

      Information environment: The aggregate of people, organizations and systems that collect, process, disseminate or act on information (Army 2016, 257).

      Electromagnetic environment: The resultant product of the power and time distribution, over various frequency ranges, of the levels of radiated or directed electromagnetic emissions likely to be encountered by a military force, system or platform when performing its assigned mission in its intended operational environment. It is the sum of electromagnetic interference; electromagnetic pulse; electromagnetic radiation hazards to personnel, artillery and volatile materials; and the effects of natural phenomena of lightning and static precipitation (Army 2016, 175).

      Operational electromagnetic energy: A combination of the strength, frequency, and duration of electromagnetic emissions that may be encountered by a military
