Electronic warfare on naval platforms has become one of the most critical components of modern military doctrine. Today, warships gain superiority not only through missiles, naval guns, and torpedoes, but also through their ability to control the electromagnetic spectrum. Electronic warfare systems on naval platforms are designed to blind enemy radars, disrupt communications, and detect threats before they fully materialize. In strategically sensitive regions such as the Eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Pacific, electronic warfare capabilities have become more decisive than conventional firepower for modern navies.
From a technical perspective, electronic warfare on naval platforms is examined under three primary categories: Electronic Support (ES), Electronic Attack (EA), and Electronic Protection (EP). Electronic Support systems detect, intercept, and analyze enemy radar and communication signals, storing them within threat libraries for rapid identification. Electronic Attack systems actively neutralize adversary sensors through jamming, deception, and false target generation techniques. Electronic Protection enhances the resilience of friendly systems against hostile electronic interference. Modern frigates, corvettes, and destroyers are equipped with advanced radar warning receivers, electronic countermeasure pods, and digital jamming architectures. Integrated within the network-centric warfare concept, these systems enable real-time data sharing across platforms, providing coordinated and collective defense capabilities. When paired with active electronically scanned array radars, electronic warfare infrastructures can detect even low-observable threats, ensuring early response and operational superiority. For this reason, electronic warfare on naval platforms is no longer a supporting asset but a strategic force multiplier that delivers deterrence and battlefield dominance.
