Software Defined Radios (SDR) for Electronic Warfare
Electronic Warfare (EW) refers to the strategic utilization of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) to manipulate, disrupt, or deter the use of the spectrum by others. There are three key components that make up EW systems which include electronic attack (EA), electronic protection (EP), and electronic support (ES).
