Abstract:

As technology advances and the electromagnetic spectrum continues to become more congested and contested, employment of electronic warfare EW will become increasingly difficult. EW now crosses multiple domains and mission areas creating new challenges. EW Officers EWO are currently not trained to overcome these challenges and several organizations and academics have identified it as a serious deficiency. Without continuing education and career development opportunities, EWOs may not have the necessary skill sets needed to effectively shape EW strategy, policy, operations, and planning.
