AEWC

AEWC stands for Aerial Electronic Warfare Capability. It refers to the specialized systems and tactics used by aircraft to detect, deceive, disrupt, or neutralize enemy electronic warfare systems. This encompasses a broad range of activities, including jamming enemy radar, intercepting communications, and employing decoys to mislead threats. The primary goal of AEWC is to protect friendly aircraft, enhance their survivability, and enable them to operate effectively in contested electromagnetic environments.

The development of AEWC capabilities has been driven by the increasing sophistication of electronic warfare technologies employed by potential adversaries. Aircraft equipped with AEWC systems can provide crucial support to strike missions by clearing a path through enemy defenses or by ensuring that friendly forces can communicate securely. These systems can be integrated into dedicated electronic warfare aircraft or be a component of multi-role combat aircraft. The effectiveness of AEWC relies on a combination of advanced hardware, sophisticated software, and highly trained aircrews. Continuous research and development are essential to keep pace with evolving threats and maintain a technological edge.
