Electronic Warfare Growing Threat

Raleigh, NC

Air Force Times reports that  Army Gen. Tony Thomas, commander of SOCOM, said at the U.S. Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s GEOINT 2018 Symposium that the military is being tested daily by adversaries trying to use electronic warfare, or EW.

“Right now in Syria, we’re in the most aggressive EW environment on the planet, from our adversaries,” Thomas said, according to a video posted online. “They’re testing us every day, knocking our communications down, disabling our AC-130s, et cetera.”
