Russian Electronic Warfare Systems

I see but look at what they choosed for the title .Turks are spreading such claims east and west to get more deals for their drones .

"In conditions close to combat": the Ministry of Defense worked out the suppression of enemy communications at a long distance


The Russian Ministry of Defense conducted exercises on the use of long-range electronic warfare systems.

As reported "News" with reference to the military department, the Baltic and Northern fleets of the Russian Federation took part in the testing.

Exercises on the use of long-range electronic suppression systems were conducted back in March 2021, but only now it became known about them. Electronic warfare systems from the Baltic and Northern fleets took part in testing, which ones, the Ministry of Defense, did not disclose.

As the newspaper writes, during the exercises, the electronic warfare systems of the fleets alternately found the stations of the imaginary enemy and suppressed them, despite the range of several thousand kilometers. The "enemy", in turn, inflicted a retaliatory electronic strike.

It is emphasized that the calculations of the electronic warfare stations worked in conditions close to combat. The exercises were recognized as successful, the stations confirmed the inherent characteristics and the ability to jam long-range communications.

For our part, we note that in the exercises, with a high probability, the Murmansk-BN electronic warfare (EW) complexes were used, capable of suppressing communication and control channels at a distance of up to 5 thousand kilometers. This complex was previously deployed in the Kaliningrad and Murmansk regions.

"Murmansk-BN" is an automated radio interference complex for communication lines in the short-wave (HF) range, capable of suppressing radio communications at a distance of 3 to 5 thousand kilometers, and with good signal transmission - up to 8 thousand kilometers. The equipment automatically collects data on signal emitters in the HF range, classifies and determines what and what power of interference can suppress them. In addition to communications, the complex also disrupts the operation of ships' weapons systems.

he Air Force is taking new steps to fast-track a promising new in-flight weapons-networking technology to war. This system is described as a computer-enabled autonomous, collaborative data sharing capability between weapons on route to target.

The service’s Golden Horde technology, as it is called, engineers high-tech seekers into weapons such as Small Diameter Bombs to enable them to thwart enemy attempts to jam GPS targeting and share flight-trajectory and battlespace data between weapons on route to a target. An Air Force essay describes the technology as a “software defined radio for communication between weapons and a processor preloaded with collaborative algorithms.”

In flight “collaborative targeting” enables one weapon to use its advanced seeker to identify an enemy jammer and transmit that tactical detail to another weapon allowing it to adjust course as needed. A recent test of Golden Horde using collaborative Small Diameter Bombs exchanging data in flight showed great promise, as well as areas of needed improvement. The Air Force tested the ability of air-dropped bombs able to share target-sensitive data with each other in flight to adjust attack specifics, find GPS-jammers and optimize the speed and precision with which attack operations can be conducted.

Now, the Air Force Research Lab is aligning its development efforts with the service’s acquisition entity to build upon its progress developing the innovations needed to operationalize the weapon.

“As we go forward with our acquisition partner, who is PEO weapons, they know how to better structure the future acquisition of those weapons. We’re in partnership with acquisition. This is an S&T (science & technology) effort for sure, but partnering with PEO Weapons will enhance the subsequent acquisition initiatives it is furthering,” Air Force Brig. Gen. Heather Pringle, Commander, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), told a group of reporters.

Pringle’s discussion of an AFRL S&T efforts alliance with Air Force acquisition aligns with current service-wide efforts to better synergize successful innovations from S&T with accelerated acquisition initiatives aimed at fast-tracking promising new technologies to war. The concept, as articulated in a recently published AFRL strategy document, is described by Pringle as an Air Force effort to closely align its research and laboratory community with rapid acquisition experts to leverage the near term promise of new technical breakthroughs.

“It’s a natural evolution of the progress that Golden Horde has made to date. Of course, you’re familiar with the small diameter bomb flights that occurred in February, those were successful in looking at multiple SBDs and having them converge on a particular target on time and on target. And so this is just a natural progression, but it’s also a step in the right direction, because it just gets us closer to that digital environment.” Pringle said.

The technical and tactical concepts of the SBD in-flight weapons collaboration, Air Force assessments explain, are designed to enable sensors integrated into the weapons themselves to discern new information, assess it in relation to front-loaded mission specifics and perform the analytics needed to make course corrections as needed. While fully bringing this to fruition may require even more advanced AI-enabled autonomy, it represents the cusp of very significant breakthrough technology.

Im seriously taking this with a  grain of salt however, since I know that in disrupting GPS and AWACS datalinks, output power is important, and detecting an EW source is nothing new too. However  US air force advocates sometimes claim that in order to jam something like a datalinked AMRAAM being guided by an AWACS, or a JDAM, you need to know exactly at what angle the datalink radar wave is, since its "narrow beam" and apparently wide beam jammers are uselss against narrow beam datalinks. Im very low IQ in RF electrical engineering, so I have no idea if this is true. Another claim is that an EW emitter like the krasukha is useless without knowing the exact frequency NATO datalinks are at, and that this requires humans spying databases to get them, and even themn, NATO can almost immediately change the compromised frequency. Is this true?
