Résumé

This authoritative new resource explores the communications aspect of electronic warfare and presents the major technical issues that drive the practice of land EW to help you with your work in the field. The book offers you a detailed understanding of the structure of tactical communications electronic warfare systems, the relationship between these systems and their targets, and the likely future development path of land electronic warfare.

You get in-depth discussions, including technical details and operational implications, on a wide range of critical land EW topics, from search, intercept and direction finding... to deception, jamming and neutralization. What's more, the book provides a thorough treatment of active and passive electronic protection and land EW command and control. Written in a clear, easy-to-understand style, with accessible descriptions of tactical communications EW techniques, the book is a great reference for technical and non-technical professionals alike.
