The Research on Application of Electronic Warfare Forces of Brigade Combat Team in U.S. Army

Abstract

In this paper, studies have been researched on the electronic warfare action of brigade combat team (BCT) in U.S. Army, which briefly introduced the composition of the electronic warfare forces of BCT, and focused on the problems about the application of electronic warfare forces in the offensive combat on the basis of the analysis about the coordination of the combat tasks. All of the work has the realistic and directive significance. The U.S. army views that electronic warfare has a very important non-lethal capacity, which can be used in the three categories of actions through electronic attack, electronic protection and electronic supporting. Electronic warfare, as the multiplier of combat effectiveness, can utilize electromagnetic energy or directional energy to control electromagnetic spectrum, attack enemy electronic devices, and provide strong support for ground forces operations
