Abstract
Current electronic warfare (EW) systems, along with the rapid development of information and communication technology, are essential elements in the modern battlefield associated with cyberspace. In this study, an efficient evaluation framework is proposed to assess the effectiveness of various types of EW systems that operate in cyberspace, which is recognized as an indispensable factor affecting modern military operations. The proposed method classifies EW systems into primary and sub-categories according to EWs’ types and identifies items for the measurement of the effectiveness of each EW system by considering the characteristics of cyberspace for evaluating the damage caused by cyberattacks. A scenario with an integrated EW system incorporating two or more different types of EW equipment is appropriately provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed framework in cyber electromagnetic warfare. The scenario explicates an example of assessing the effectiveness of EW systems under cyberattacks. Finally, the proposed method is demonstrated sufficiently by assessing the effectiveness of the EW systems using the scenario.
Highlights
Cyberspace is a global information environment composed of independent networks that include information technology infrastructure such as the internet, communication networks, computer systems, and embedded processors [1]
Operations areMoreover, divided itinto cyberspace that operations, electronic warfare (EW), and spectrum management performed in a converged form because they are mostly used for similar purposes; such military operations, as presented in Figure 4 [17], and include internet communication networks, computer activities are called cyberspace electromagnetic activities (CEMA), as shown in Figure 3 [8]
measures of cyber effectiveness (MOCE): A measure of cyberspace delivered by cyberspace BDA framework (CBDAF) to identify the effect of cyber elements on Unlike the measures of performance (MOP), the measures of effectiveness (MOE) items of the EW system have the characteristic of being flexible according to the operational environment and EW assets
Summary
Cyberspace is a global information environment composed of independent networks that include information technology infrastructure such as the internet, communication networks, computer systems, and embedded processors [1]. The proposed framework defines the cyber environment as a new form of modern warfare.

Applying this study will allow us to: warfare systems operating in cyberspace. Applying this study will allow us to: Help commanders make decisions effectively to protect the EW systems by observing the state of the cyber-electronic warfare system in a real environment. This paper’s subject is significantly important because it can provide enhanced information on critical security required in cyber-electronic warfare by successfully applying evolved frameworks and algorithms to analyze various types of electronic warfare systems and complex cyberattacks.
