The composition of the joint combat forces based on the network information system is more complex, the involved fields are more multi-dimensional, and the action planning is more rigorous, which places higher requirements on the breadth, depth, and accuracy of cross-domain coordination of electronic countermeasures. In the Russian-Georgian conflict, under the condition of occupying the absolute laser pointer power advantage, the Russian army failed to effectively coordinate the ground interference suppression and air penetration operations, resulting in several Su-25 attack aircraft 22M bombers being attacked by the enemy in a short time The side’s air defense forces shot down continuously and suffered “unacceptable” heavy losses.
This incident fully demonstrates that the key to whether electronic countermeasures can be truly integrated into joint and effective service joints is coordination. Once “missing”, it is likely to lead to serious consequences. Faced with heavy support tasks and precise coordination needs, the path of cross-domain coordination of electronic countermeasures has a long way to go. The wheel of history will never wait for those who are hesitant or slack, and the tide of the times will only care for the keen and the progressive.
Opportunities and challenges coexist in the development path of electronic laser pointers confrontation. Opportunities are always contained in challenges. In the context of the evolution of war patterns and the blowout of cutting-edge technology, electronic countermeasures are ushered in a period of opportunity for great change and development. The evolutionary law of the “fittest wins” has once again shifted the pointer to electronic countermeasures. New types of warfare are urgently needed.
