A importância da guerra eletrônica nas operações anfíbias em apoio ao grupamento operativo de fuzileiros navais

Abstract

Electronic Warfare plays a decisive role in contemporary theaters of operations, using electromagnetic waves to support friendly forces and neutralize enemy capabilities. With the advancement of technologies such as high-precision missiles and sophisticated radars, Electronic Warfare has become an indispensable element in military operations, especially in Amphibious Operations, which demand high coordination and mastery of the electromagnetic spectrum. Given this context, the study will address the Electronic Warfare capabilities of the Brazilian Marine Corps in support of Amphibious Operations. The research, based on official documents and specialized sources, will illustrate technologies that use electromagnetic wave propagation as a tool in modern combat and analyze Electronic Warfare actions in support of the Marine Operational Task Group. It will investigate whether the doctrine and material resources of the Brazilian Navy are aligned with current practices within the Force’s competencies, aiming to ensure transmission security, superiority in spectrum control, and effectiveness in planning these operations. The study will also explore the actions coordinated by the Electronic Warfare Coordination Center, which is responsible for integrating and supervising activities in this field, ensuring effective performance in operational actions. The structure of the work covers theoretical foundations of Electronic Warfare and showcases emerging technologies such as jamming systems, monitoring tools, and electronic location systems. Furthermore, the implementation of the Brazilian Navy’s Integrated Command and Control System will be analyzed, which includes a specific module dedicated to Electronic Warfare—a promising initiative that represents a potential advancement in the training of specialized professionals in this domain. Finally, the conclusion will summarize the key points discussed throughout the study and offer perspectives for future research to deepen knowledge on the subject.
