Abstract

Electronic warfare (EW) is one of the most important characteristics of modern battles. EW can affect a military force’s use of the electromagnetic spectrum to detect targets or to provide information. Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) suggest that this emerging technology will have a deterministic and potentially transformative influence on military power. AI driven algorithms can be very effective in diverse domain of EW like processing of radar signals for efficient recognition and classification of emitters, detection of jammer and its characteristics and for developing efficient anti-jamming algorithms. AI techniques can also enable an EW system to operate autonomously. This paper provides a description of various branches of EW, the role of AI in EW systems and different AI techniques that have been deployed in EW systems.

Highlights

  • M ODERN military forces are heavily dependent on a variety of complex and continuously evolving technologies for effective war-fighting capability using electronic means [1]

  • This paper focuses on the description of fundamental aspects of Electronic Warfare (EW) and its components, different elements and related technology of the present generation of EW systems, application of artificial intelligence (AI) as an aid for effective deployment and decision making in the battlefield and evolving scenario of AI aided EW which shall be crucial for military forces in the days ahead

  • EW consists of three major subdivisions: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Protection (EP), and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) systems

Summary

INTRODUCTION

M ODERN military forces are heavily dependent on a variety of complex and continuously evolving technologies for effective war-fighting capability using electronic means [1]. Despite achieving significant enhancement of war-fighting capability due to employment of EW, optimization of utilization of resources and efficient decision support continues to be major issues in military operations. This paper focuses on the description of fundamental aspects of EW and its components, different elements and related technology of the present generation of EW systems, application of AI as an aid for effective deployment and decision making in the battlefield and evolving scenario of AI aided EW which shall be crucial for military forces in the days ahead
