Josh Koslov.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOperational-level tools that we use as a force to plan, integrate, synchronize and collaborate [on] electronic warfare effects are basically nonexistent,\u201d Col. Josh Koslov, head of the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing at Eglin, told reporters Wednesday. \u201cWe\u2019re building that capability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electronic warfare allows troops to manipulate the spectrum of radio waves to block forces from talking, distract precision-guided munitions from their targets and install malicious software on enemy systems, among other offensive and defensive options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service is also mulling fresh tactics that would allow its combat missions to succeed even if airmen can\u2019t communicate, if navigation systems go down, or if command centers are cut off from forces in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than supporting a particular asset, like the Compass Call electronic-attack fleet, the squadrons are the Air Force\u2019s first units solely dedicated to software for electronic warfare at large. They\u2019ll also help manage the \u201cmountains of data\u201d the Air Force amasses on its adversaries, to better understand the enemy and create new tools to counter them faster, Koslov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cExternally, it\u2019s about providing tools by which to plan, synchronize, collaborate,\u201d Koslov said. \u201cInternally, it\u2019s about speed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 563rd EWS, which previously trained electronic warfare and combat system officers before it was deactivated in 2010, will focus on responding to operational units\u2019 requests for new EW software, based on what they encounter in the field. Airmen will update the apps as needed to keep pace with evolving threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One program now in development will track the process of receiving commanders\u2019 requests for new EW tools, building them and deploying them through the Air Force\u2019s Pacific-focused 613th Air Operations Center in Hawaii, Koslov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once that\u2019s complete, the 563rd EWS will look at ways to speed up new software for the Air Force\u2019s most advanced assets, like the F-35 Lightning II fighter, Koslov added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Eglin, the 388th EWS plans to study the digital capabilities of adversaries like China to determine where the Air Force could worm its way in to disable them. Those discussions will shape how the service codes and wields its own EW tools, and how airmen train to use them, an Air Force spokesperson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, electronic warfare could lead air defenses to shoot away from an incoming U.S. aircraft, or stop a signal jammer from blocking an American attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to ensure that we are using the best techniques, tactics and procedures in order to attack \u2018red\u2019 \u2014 our adversaries \u2014 to achieve blue objectives and support that joint force,\u201d said Lt. Col. Tim West, the squadron\u2019s incoming commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiple intelligence-focused teams will be nested within the 388th EWS, West said, including a group who will pore over Chinese, Russian and other electromagnetic offenses and defenses to determine what poses the greatest threat to U.S. and allied forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two new squadrons are staffed by a combination of new trainees and those who have served in other EW units. Koslov expects the 563rd and 388th will grow to 150 to 200 airmen over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another existing squadron, the 39th EWS at Eglin, will pivot from developing electronic warfare tools to instead become stewards and curators of data collected on the capabilities of foreign forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new units arrive in the midst of the Air Force\u2019s yearslong push to revamp its electronic warfare enterprise with a more holistic view of those battlefield needs and a warfighting mindset. Koslov said the service has opened six new EW units in the past year and plans to launch at least four more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last October, the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2023\/10\/25\/us-air-force-activates-units-dedicated-to-electronic-warfare\/\">launched two other detachments<\/a> at Robins AFB, Georgia, that will identify weak points in U.S. networks and move to protect them. Their parent organization, the 950th Spectrum Warfare Group, is designed to assess how effectively various aircraft can wage and endure electronic attacks, and improve jamming and spoofing at military exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Koslov said he aims to bring at least 400 people to Robins as part of that effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite a staff shortage and other growing pains of revitalizing the Air Force\u2019s once-robust EW enterprise, Koslov said airmen\u2019s recent success in training exercises show they\u2019re on the \u201cglide path towards ultimate success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re working towards getting better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 388th Electronic Warfare Squadron will open in Florida Thursday, one week after the 563rd EWS launched in Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":72310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":7,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[7,12,29],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3356],"class_list":["post-24402","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-battlefield-tech","category-electronic-warfare","category-home"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"VY532TUEMBEEHCCCOY27EWCZRI","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-air-force\/2024\/05\/01\/air-force-looks-to-boost-electronic-warfare-with-coding-tactics-units\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Air Force looks to boost electronic warfare with coding, tactics units - C4ISRNet<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The 388th Electronic Warfare Squadron will open in Florida Thursday, one week after the 563rd EWS launched in Texas.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Air Force looks to boost electronic warfare with coding, tactics units\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The 388th Electronic Warfare Squadron will open in Florida Thursday, one week after the 563rd EWS launched in Texas.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/battlefield-tech\/2024\/05\/01\/air-force-looks-to-boost-electronic-warfare-with-coding-tactics-units\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"C4ISRNet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-05-01T19:19:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T21:22:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Rachel S.
