S. Air Force F-35A Joint Strike Fighter pilots flying patrols along NATO's eastern flank have been detecting air defense systems – likely Russian, or possibly Belarusian – operating in unexpected ways, according to a report from Air Force Times. These incidents highlight the Joint Strike Fighter's already substantial electronic warfare capabilities and the importance of forthcoming upgrades to these systems. Above all else, these encounters in Europe underscore the importance of developing, and the inherent potential of, so-called cognitive electronic warfare capabilities.
Cognitive electronic warfare, at its core, refers to efforts to automate and otherwise speed up various aspects of electronic warfare, including the rapid updating of the functionality of existing systems and the development of all-new countermeasures. The absolute "holy grail" of the concept envisions electronic warfare suites being able to do all of this by themselves, in real-time, even right in the middle of an actual combat mission.
