Defeating Russia and China's Air Defenses
By Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest: “U.S. warplanes flying over Syria today find themselves operating within the range of Russian S-400 surface-to-air missiles. While the U.S. military is unlikely to intentionally attack Russian forces in Syria, the situation highlights the importance of suppressing enemy air defenses—one major tactic U.S. flyers have long relied upon is radar jamming, or saturating enemy radars with “noise” and false signals so that they can't track and fire upon friendly airplanes.”
China’s Power Projection
By David Shinn, China Brief: “China’s 2015 Military Strategy white paper states clearly that the PLAN will protect the security of strategic sea lines of communication (SLOCs) and overseas interests, and participate in international maritime cooperation so as to build itself “into a maritime power.””

Air Force Upgrades Missile Early Warning Systems
By Katherine Owens, Defense Systems “The Air Force is advancing its initiative to upgrade its Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS) and Precision Acquisition of Vehicle Entry Phased Array Warning System (PAVE PAWS) systems for completion next year. The upgrade program will improve tracking and classification, and real-time communication capabilities of the advanced phased array radar systems, according to the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC).”
Army's Stryker and Abrams Armed for Electronic Attack
By Kris Osborn, Scout Warrior: “The VICTORY effort, called Vehicular Integration for C4ISR/EW Interoperability, is intended to lessen the need for multiple disparate GPS, sensor, display screen and communications “boxes” built into a single vehicle. ”
