Professor Fiona Clark – Electronic Warfare in Today’s Conflicts

Professor Fiona Clark is Head of Capability, Electronic Warfare (EW) at Leonardo
Electronics. Tonight she describes for us the ability to use the electromagnetic spectrum
to sense, analyse and identify enemy signals, as well as to disrupt, degrade or deny the
adversaries' ability to benefit from use of the spectrum. The Ukraine conflict has
demonstrated both sides’ reliance on EW equipment, and the need for rapidly changeable
capability. This lecture will give an overview of the subject of EW: why it’s needed, what
it is, how it’s done and will leave the audience with thoughts for future developments
