Book Description
Traditionally, DOD'S combat aircraft have used on-board electronic warfare devices called jammers for self-protection against radar-controlled weapons, including missiles and anti-aircraft artillery. These jammers emit electronic signals from the aircraft to try to impede or deny the threat radar's ability to locate the aircraft. DOD'S existing self-protection jamming systems for its tactical aircraft have limitations against certain threats, and these threats are expected to be improved. DOD has modified existing systems, such as the Air Force's ALQ-131 used on the F-16 and the ALQ-135 on the F-15, and has developed a newer system, the Navy's Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ), which is being used on some F-14D and F/A-18C/D aircraft. As we have previously reported, however, testing after deployment has shown that the modified jammer systems have had problems, while operational testing of ASPJ and otherjammers showed they were unable to meet effectiveness criteria against certain classified threats.

Airborne Electronic Warfare

Book Description
Electronic warfare (EW) has been an important component of military air operations since the earliest days of radar. Radar, EW, and stealth techniques have evolved over time as engineers, scientists, and tacticians have struggled to create the most survivable and effective air force possible. Several recent events suggest that airborne EW merits congressional attention. Operation Allied Force, the 1999 NATO operation in Yugoslavia, appears to have marked an important watershed in the debate over current and future U.S. airborne EW. It appears that every air strike on Serbian targets was protected by radar jamming and/or suppression of enemy air defense (SEAD) aircraft. Electronic countermeasures self protection systems, such as towed radar decoys, were credited with saving numerous U.S. aircraft that had been targeted by Serbian surface-to-air missiles (SAMs). The Department of Defense is engaged in numerous activities - such as research and development (R&D) programs, procurement programs, training, experimentation - that are designed to improve various electronic attack (EA), ECM, and SEAD capabilities both in the near and long term. These activities often cut across bureaucratic boundaries and defy easy categorization and oversight, which makes it difficult to determine and assess DoD-wide EW priorities. Often, it appears that DoD has no single, coherent plan coordinating all these efforts or setting priorities. The Clinton Administration's DoD budget request for FY2001 was the 106th Congress' first opportunity to exercise oversight of EW and SEAD programs in the post-Kosovo era. Congressional appropriations and authorization conferees often matched or exceeded DoD's request for EW and SEAD programs to ensure the survivability of numerous aircraft and to increase the military's ability to suppress or destroy enemy air defenses. Congress also disagreed with DoD plans, and reduced or constrained some programs accordingly. As part of its FY2002 budget oversight responsibilities, Congress can strongly influence DoD's EW force structure, aircraft survivability and air campaign effectiveness. Some issues Congress may consider include: 1) the overall level of DoD's electronic warfare spending, and its spending priorities within EW; 2) how DoD can wring the most warfighting capability out of its EA-6B force, which will be DoD's only radar jamming aircraft until 2010 or later; 3) why the Navy and Air Force are pursuing distinctive paths in addressing tomorrow's SEAD challenges, and whether the country is best served by pursuing both approaches; 4) why DoD and Congress appear to have distinct perspectives on the need to upgrade or replace key electronic countermeasures such as aircraft radar warning receivers.
