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.

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)

| 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 is now
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) |
