Modern warfare is no longer confined to land, sea, or air. Today, battles are also fought in the invisible spectrum - the electromagnetic domain where signals, radars, and communications determine who sees, hears, and ultimately controls the battlefield. At Lockheed Martin, we bring more than 50 years of electronic warfare (EW) experience to this unseen fight, delivering advanced, adaptable solutions that evolve with the threat.
 

Electronic warfare enables militaries to sense, protect, and disrupt signals, keeping control of the spectrum while denying adversaries the ability to use it. Three critical components can help categorize the different effects and how EW is deployed.
 

Sometimes, the most frightening sound on the battlefield is silence. EA technology works offensively to cut off enemy radars and communications, leaving adversaries blind, deaf, and unable to respond. By flipping the spectrum, EA creates sudden silence—allowing allied forces to act decisively. Whether jamming radar, silencing communications, or deploying energy-based tools to disrupt adversary sensors, EA transforms the unseen electromagnetic battlefield into a controllable environment for our forces.
 

Maintaining operational capability in contested environments is as critical as countering the enemy directly. EP technologies safeguard friendly forces by ensuring that radars, sensors, communications, and other spectrum-dependent systems remain functional even in highly contested electromagnetic environments. Techniques such as specialized waveforms, frequency agility, and advanced signal processing provide warfighters with the resilience needed to operate confidently and effectively.
 

ES acts as the battlespace’s sensory network, detecting, identifying, and locating signals from radars, communications, and other emissions. By passively sensing the environment and pairing these to signatures to specific assets to reveal where threats are operating before they act, ES delivers real-time situational awareness and helps commanders make informed decisions. Capabilities such as signal detection, emitter identification/intent, and spectrum characterization, ensure that our forces stay ahead of adversaries and retain control of the electromagnetic environment.
 

 

Mastering EA, EP, and ES capabilities ensures mission success, survivability, and dominance across multi-domain operations. By integrating decades of expertise with cutting-edge technology, Lockheed Martin provides affordable, adaptable solutions that can evolve as threats evolve.

In today’s world, victory goes beyond physical firepower. It is earned by controlling the unseen spectrum, protecting friendly forces, and disrupting adversaries before they even know the fight has begun. With Lockheed Martin’s next-generation electronic warfare capabilities, warfighters gain the decisive advantage—turning the invisible into a visible edge.
