WASHINGTON, (BM) – The U.S. Department of Defense presented a report on the U.S. electromagnetic warfare force’s state, which U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) published. According to the Pentagon report, Russia has shown excellent efficiency in this area, as has China. Department of Defense analysts say the United States is at risk of losing control of the battlefield if it does not control the electromagnetic spectrum.
“The U.S. risks losing control of the battlefield if it doesn’t control the electromagnetic spectrum, according to the Defense Department. This range of frequencies is critical for communications, navigation, weapons, and more. Russian electromagnetic warfare forces, described by the Defense Intelligence Agency as “world-class,†have demonstrated effectiveness in real-world applications against U.S. and foreign militaries. China also has advanced capabilities,†the report said.
