Electronic warfare is one of the most important yet misunderstood components of modern air combat. Today, US Navy and Marine electronic attack squadrons are the masters of this shadowy domain. One of their most experienced Electronic Warfare Officers is here to tell you about this critical mission, their new EA-18G Growler jet and future of electronic attack.

It’s a pretty interesting interview with an ECMO.  Spill and I were just discussing some of these issues, and some of the issues of EW, particularly in support of ground operations.

It’s kind of hard to write about the topic sometimes. The last time I started asking specific questions about ground based EW, I was politely told to MYOB. The basics of AEA, as performed by the Prowler and Growler are pretty well known. But the exact capabilities and techniques, not so much.
