- Electronic warfare has become a crucial component of modern military technology. It involves utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum for strategies such as identifying enemy activities, protecting one's own systems, disrupting communications, and deceiving the adversary.
- Electronic warfare is primarily categorized into three components: electronic support, electronic attack, and electronic protection. With the increasing use of systems such as radars, communication networks, signal intelligence, and countermeasures, its significance in the modern battlefield is continuously growing. NETRA-2026 focuses on advancing technological innovation and indigenous capabilities in this domain.
