Considerații doctrinare privind lupta pe fundul mării

Supremacy in the electromagnetic spectrum provides additional options and increased flexibility in any competition, even other than military conflicts, in addition to greater control of the scale of escalation. It gives policy makers and military leaders the decision space to manage events in real time while denying equivalent decision space to adversaries. At the same time, supremacy in the electromagnetic spectrum requires the collection, analysis and validation of robust information in the following key areas: electromagnetic spectrum sensors, communications, data links, radars, jamming, directed energy and infrared systems, engineering data describing the performance, characteristics and signature information of associated equipment, weapons and platforms, combat support data and modelling and simulation support. The authors describe these topics through a detailed analysis of the importance and role of supremacy in the electromagnetic spectrum.
