Tony Thomas<\/a>, the commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, told audience members at a conference in April that adversaries were trying to bring down AC-130 gunships in Syria using electronic warfare, or EW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now in Syria, we\u2019re in the most aggressive EW environment on the planet, from our adversaries,\u201d Thomas said. \u201cThey\u2019re testing us every day, knocking our communications down, disabling our AC-130s, et cetera.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps is amid an overhaul of its forces and equipment to prepare for a potential fight with near-peer adversaries like Russia and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both countries boast an impressive array of electronic warfare capabilities. Russia has been using the Syrian battlefield to hone its EW skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top Marine has oft repeated the threats posed to GPS systems from rising adversaries and says the Corps needs to be prepared to fight in GPS denied environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2018\/01\/25\/commandant-says-the-marine-corps-has-too-many-airplanes\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">F\/A-18 is the Corps\u2019 bridging aircraft <\/a>as it moves to the new high-tech F-35. As the Corps transitions the older legacy Hornets are undergoing a service life extension, meaning the aircraft are being updated to handle the modern battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstallation in F\/A-18 A-D helps ensure continued mission capability as the service life of the aircraft is extended and facilitates supportability by using more common equipment,\u201d Land said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy and the Marine Corps already use the anti-jamming GPS antenna in a number of airframes, according to Land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTypical installations replace a platform\u2019s existing GPS antenna with a NAVWAR antenna and separate antenna electronics, while leaving a platform\u2019s GPS receiver in place,\u201d Land added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Corps expects the F\/A-18 to be in sunset by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Corps moves to the F-35 and phases out its Hornets, the legacy fighters will consolidate on the West Coast by 2018 with the exception of VMFA (AW)\u2010242, which will remain aboard the Corps\u2019 air station at Iwakuni, Japan until it transitions to the F-35 in 2028, according to the Corp\u2019s 2018 aviation plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Corps is facing down increased threats from electronic warfare.
