Information Warfare and Electronic Warfare Systems

Information warfare in emerging as the new war-fighting paradigm of the United States and many of its allies. This book is the first in the field to address communication electronic warfare (EW) systems in the context of information warfare. Authored by a recognized leading authority, this resource includes a unique formulation of EW system peformance and presents results of system simulations that have not appeared previously in any related literature. Essential reading for EW engineers and researchers working in defense, aerospace, and military capacities, this book explores the properties of information, and information communication, information theory, and EW system architectures. Two operational simulations, one in Northeast Asia and the other in urban terrain, are discussed in the final chapter. This book serves as a valuable resource for practicing electronic warfare engineers and newcomers to electronic warfare, as well as electronic warfare course instructors. Contents Overview: Information Operations and Theory, A Model of Information Warfare, EW Systems and Network-Centric Warfare, Networking, Situation Awareness, EW Systems, System Performance, and Simulations
