The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) has become a central battlespace in modern warfare, underpinning communications, sensing, and weapon systems across all domains. NATO and the European Union have elevated electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) and electronic warfare (EW) to top strategic priorities, recognizing that control of the spectrum is essential for collective defense and deterrence. The ability to deny an adversary use of the spectrum, protect one’s own forces from jamming or detection, and operate effectively in contested and congested EMS environments is now seen as vital as traditional air, land, and sea superiority.
