SUMMARY:Farnborough Branch: Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) in the Air Domain 
 - Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:This RAeS Farnborough Branch lecture examines Electromagnetic W
 arfare (EW) in the air domain\, tracing its evolution from the early 20th 
 century to the present day and considering future developments. The presen
 tation explores how defence and security operations depend increasingly on
  the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) as the primary medium for information 
 collection and dissemination. Beginning with radio's invention in the late
  19th century and its widespread adoption for communication\, the lecture 
 covers how radar emerged as a transformative technology within 50 years\, 
 significantly impacting military operations. More recent developments in i
 nfra-red and laser systems are also examined as key elements in modern def
 ence and security applications.\nThe lecture explains how participants in 
 military operations must maintain their own ability to use the EMS whilst 
 occasionally denying or controlling opponents' access to it. EW encompasse
 s three broad operational areas: Electromagnetic Surveillance\, Electromag
 netic Defence\, and Electromagnetic Attack. The speaker will provide insig
 hts into equipment innovations spanning 1900 to present day\, illustrating
  how past developments have shaped air operations whilst highlighting chal
 lenges facing future air capability development.\nSpeaker Steve Roberts br
 ings extensive expertise\, having studied Engineering and Computer Science
  at Cambridge University whilst sponsored by GEC Marconi. His career inclu
 des 20 years leading engineering teams conducting trials of Electronic War
 fare equipment on platforms including Tornado\, Harrier and Typhoon\, foll
 owed by 10 years as EW Technology Director at BAE Systems and EW Capabilit
 y Director for Selex. He concluded his career as Strategy Director for Sel
 ex and Leonardo Electronics\, overseeing product portfolios encompassing a
 ll electronic equipment forms\, UAVs\, and EMSO applications across all op
 erational domains.
