ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE I-7. Material in this section is derived from ATP 3-12.3. I-8. Electromagnetic warfare is military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy. Also called EW (JP 3-85). EW capabilities enable Army forces to create conditions and effects in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) to support the commander's intent and concept of operations. EW includes electromagnetic attack, electromagnetic protection, and electromagnetic warfare support and includes activities such as electromagnetic jamming, electromagnetic hardening, and signal detection, respectively. EW affects, supports, enables, protects, and collects on capabilities operating within the EMS, including cyberspace capabilities. With proper integration and deconfliction, EW can create reinforcing and complementary effects by affecting devices that operate in and through wired and wireless networks. The term EW operations refers to planning, preparing, execution, and continuous assessment of the electromagnetic warfare activities of an operation. The term EMS operations indicates the addition of those operationally related spectrum management operations activities. Figure I-1 on page 312 provides an EW overview. Technique. Table I-6 shows common purposes used in a mission statement. This list should not be constraining but used as a quick reference to assist in developing a mission’s purpose. Table I-6.
