2020 Department of Defense Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy by
The purpose of the 2020 Department of Defense EMS Superiority Strategy is to align DoD EMS
activities with the objectives of the 2017 National Security Strategy (NSS), the 2018 National Defense
Strategy (NDS), and national economic and technology policy goals. This Strategy embraces the enterprise
approach required to ensure EMS superiority by integrating efforts to enhance near-term and long-term
EMS capabilities, activities, and operations. The Strategy informs the Department’s domestic EMS access
policies and reinforces the need to develop cooperative frameworks with other EMS stakeholders in order to advance shared national policy goals. The traditional functions of Electromagnetic Spectrum Management (EMSM) and Electromagnetic Warfare (EW)—integrated as Electromagnetic Spectrum
Operations (EMSO)—are addressed within the document’s strategic goals. This 2020 Strategy builds upon the successes of and supersedes both the DoD’s 2013 EMS Strategy and 2017 EW Strategy.
Electromagnetic Interference and Electromagnetic Compatibility by
Electromagnetic compatibility is concerned with the generation, transmission, and reception of electromagnetic energy. The book discusses about the basic principles of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) including causes, events, and mitigation of issues. The design procedures for EMI filter, the types of filters, and filter implementation methods are explained. The simulation of printed circuit board designs using different software and a step-by-step method is discussed in detail. This book addresses the gap between theory and practice using case studies with design, experiments, and supporting analysis.
Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum by
Naval warfare was confined for centuries to surface combat, or undersea clashes. In the twentieth century aerial warfare became the third domain and shortly thereafter, the electromagnetic spectrum also appeared. Until now, little has been written about this important aspect of military conflict on the high seas. In Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum author Thomas Wildenberg provides the first book covering these aircraft, their missions, and the methodology of conducting combat in all its forms along this fourth domain, the electromagnetic spectrum.
When navies began to make use of the airwaves, they soon discovered those waves could also be exploited as a source of information about the opposing force. This would later be termed Electronic Intelligence (ELINT). Navies learned the value of interrupting or corrupting the enemy’s communication signals that were transmitted in the “ether,” thus began a method of fighting termed Electronic Warfare (EW). Wildenberg cuts through the secrecy about this understandably mysterious domain of combat. He offers details on aircraft and methods and provides a layman’s set of definitions of terms. Wildenberg shares lessons learned from World War II skirmishes a as well as clashes in the Korean and Vietnam wars, while providing a Fighting in the Electromagnetic Spectrum offers the reader a foundational understanding of this complex form of combat in all its forms. This volume discloses rarely covered concepts and methods which will shape future great power future conflict.
