Electromagnetic Defense Task Force: 2018 Report

Electromagnetic Defense Task Force: 2018 Report

The LeMay Papers and other scholarly works published by Air University Press provide independent analysis and constructive discussion on issues important to Air Force commanders, staffs, and other decision makers.

The electromagnetic spectrum is a broad area of activity characterized by physically observable activities such as visible light and lasers and unobservable phenomena such as microwaves and electromagnetic energy. EMS manifests through various frequencies and wavelengths produced by natural sources like solar storms or artificially by hardware such as radar or nuclear weapons. EMS impacts every domain of warfare.

On 20–22 August 2018, the Electromagnetic Defense Task Force hosted an inaugural summit in the National Capital Region . The summit was designed to aid and encourage actions to recover footing where our technological lead in EMS is being challenged. The summit was also designed to address direct EMS threats to the United States and its allies. While some issues have existed since the 1960s, the window of opportunity to mitigate some electromagnetic threats is closing. Meanwhile, many existing threats have gained prominence due to almost universal integration of silica-based technologies into all aspects of modern technology and society.

Since World War II, holding an edge in the EMS has provided the United States and its allies distinct military and economic advantages. Nevertheless, as technology has become diffused during the Fourth Industrial Revolution , our ability to maintain the advantage within this spectrum has diminished as peers gain capability. At present, the United States and its allies are at an EMS crossroads. In some areas, if timely actions fail to advance allied EMS capabilities, there is a likelihood adversaries can achieve parity or even dominance of the spectrum in a matter of years.

Communications and data and a myriad of essential military and economic functions—including precision navigation and timing and banking— are maintained in and through the EMS. The EMS may be described as a “Super Domain.” While the only internationally recognized domains are land, sea, air, space, and cyber, electromagnetic activities operate in and through all domains regulating the most critical functions therein.

EMS is arguably the one domain that can rule them all. Failure to maintain technological dominance or freedom of operations in EMS can diminish or 2 stop a modern nation’s broad civil and defense activities. Based on the totality of available data, the task force contends the second- and third-order effects of an EMS attack may be a threat to the United States, democracy, and the world order.
