FUTURE IS IN THE HANDS OF RADIO-ELECTRONIC WARFARE FORCES

Interview with Head of RA AF GS REW Department, Colonel Vahan Avetisyan

REWS POSSIBILITIES

Radio-Electronic Warfare – REW with its capabilities became kind of combat operation, method of warfare. Today there is no kind of troops in its composition not having the electronic component. Even if the weapon is super-modern, but if we incapacitate or put under the control its electronics, it turns into scrap-metal. Today, while fighting against the electronics, we may effectively reduce the possibility of military equipment of the enemy without destroying it. For example, it is not necessary to destroy the enemy tank. It is enough to “blind” tank driver with electron beam or disable the breech-sight system.

Command and control of the troops is carried out mainly through the radio. If it does not work, then the army is uncontrollable. Properly organizing REW it can be done so that the corresponding object the enemy can detect late, and then information about the detected object may pass to the authorities late.

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE ARMENIAN ARMED FORCES

On the territory of Soviet Armenia were the best units of the REW of the Soviet Union. Armenia is from those countries which had a high potential for electronics. Parallel to the development of the existing potential, our military-industrial complex implements the creation of new means of mass production, repair and improvement. Now our REW products are included in combat duty. With this greatly decreased, and in some areas even stopped the flights of the enemy’s drones.

REW sphere has huge perspectives of development. Who will own powerful technology, he will be the winner in a future war.
