Electronic countermeasures constitute the active and, therefore, the best known part of elusive electronic warfare. Its uses are very varied, but usually oriented towards the second half of the definition of electronic warfare: denying the use of the spectrum to the enemy. Typically only useful once supporting measures have done their part, ECMs can deceive or disrupt enemy sensors, both those they use to detect us and those they need to attack us. Thus, countermeasures are a fundamental part of anti-missile defense. For their part, protection measures aim to defend against these attacks both with material means and through employment doctrines.

Passive and silent electronic support measures often go unnoticed in a war that, in itself, is little known. However, without correctly employing ESM (Electronic Support Measures), other techniques such as jamming or electronic deception could not be used and, in many cases, modern naval warfare would once again be fought from within the horizon, as does a century. ESMs are closely related to electronic intelligence and information warfare. (Continue…) Dear reader, this article is exclusively for paying users.

The most visible advances in naval warfare since the beginning of the last century have been the appearance of the submarine, the ship-borne aircraft, and the missile. However, it is electronic equipment that has allowed the use of these and other systems and, logically, a bloody battle has been unleashed to use them for personal benefit. Electronic equipment allows modern weapons systems to be used and, without them, fighting would continue like in Jutland. Electronic warfare is a fundamental part of modern naval warfare that, due to its complexity and secrecy, is often overlooked. In this article we will make an introduction that allows us to delve deeper into the topic in successive installments. (Continue…) Dear reader, this article is exclusively for paying users.

The most basic knowledge of History allows us to affirm that wars have changed over the years. We could go so far as to maintain that there have been dizzying changes in recent times, a theorem that leads us to think that there will probably be exponentially accelerated evolution in the near future. To try to understand these changes and, perhaps even, predict them, it is essential to understand what war is and what makes it change. [Keep reading…]

At the end of 2019, in a week in which several important news came to light about the Navy's future escorts, the F-110 frigates, the confirmation of the acquisition of the CAPTAS-4 sonar from THALES was included. The acquisition of this sonar is probably the most important news to date regarding the future F-110. [Keep reading…]
