Information Warfare, Information Operations
and Electronic Attack Capabilities

The RAAF has no organic Electronic Attack capability, and only basic capabilities in electronic surveillance and airborne signals intelligence. This is despite the growing importance of these key capabilities in an environment where controlling the electromagnetic spectrum is an inherent prerequisite for control of the air.

This website will post a selection of relevant articles, submissions and papers.

EF-18G Growler Demonstrator
With fatigue life now a serious issue for the US Navy Electronic Attack fleet of EA-6B Prowlers, suffering increased optempo as a result of ongoing conflicts since 1999, and the loss of the EF-111A Raven fleet, the US Navy will progressively replace the Prowler with the 'Growler', an F/A-18F retrofitted with the  ALQ-99 EA system (Boeing photo)

B-52H Stratofortress
The U.S. Air Force prematurely mothballed its Electronic Attack force of 40 Grumman/GD EF-111A Ravens in 1999, after an acrimonious public debate. The lost capability was to be reconstituted using even older B-52H airframes, equipped with external jamming pods, unlike the compact internal variant of the ALQ-99 carried by the Ravens. The traditional defence penetration related  roles performed by electronic attack aircraft are increasingly broadening to encompass communications and network jamming (U.S.Air Force)
