China’s electronic warfare ability would present “a significant challenge” to the US in the event of a conflict across the Taiwan Strait, according to a report to the US Congress.
The US government agency said that in a potential Taiwan Strait conflict, Beijing expected Washington to field uncrewed submarines, uncrewed surface ships, aerial drones, next-generation aircraft and ships equipped with advanced sensors, radars, and precision-guided munitions to target PLA forces.
In preparation, China has developed electronic warfare capabilities that could “present a significant challenge to US forces by disrupting the data links and communications US and allied forces need to operate during conflict”, according to the report.
“The PLA’s EW [electronic warfare] capabilities include offensive and defensive capabilities that disrupt an enemy’s equipment or protect PLA weapons systems from enemy attack.”
