Brown Presses for More Aggressive EMS Strategy

摘要

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. is pressing the Air Staff to complete a new electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) warfare strategy this spring, saying the U.S. has been "asleep at the wheel" while rivals have only become more aggressive. The strategy will lay out "where we're headed and where we're taking the Air Force" in EMS warfare, Brown told a virtual gathering of the Association of Old Crows on Jan. 27. It will include "the operations we need to do in that area, and how we fund it." The strategy, which will interlock with a defense-wide EMS strategy that is also due out in the spring, will break with decades of "neglect" in the electromagnetic spectrum, Brown said. The service will shift from being entirely defensive in EMS operations to offensive as well, and plans to make major shifts instead of incremental improvements.
