 <title>Electronic Warfare: Comprehensive Strategy Needed for</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>To suppress enemy air defenses, U.S. armed forces use specialized
aircraft designed to neutralize, destroy, or temporarily degrade enemy
air defense systems through either physical attack or electronic
warfare. Concerns have been raised that the Air Force&apos;s decision to
retire EF-111 and F-4G suppression aircraft, combined with a growing
threat from increasingly sophisticated enemy air defenses, has created a
gap between the services&apos; suppression capabilities and their needs. GAO
(1) examined the steps that the military has taken since 1996 to improve
its ability to suppress enemy air defenses and (2) evaluated the
services&apos; plans to eliminate any gap between their suppression
capabilities and needs. GAO found that the services have improved their
suppression capabilities, such as increasing the size of their fleets of
F-16CJ and EA-6B suppression aircraft, improving the electronic warfare
and missile systems on these aircrafts, studying cost-effective
alternatives for suppression in the future, and reviewing electronic
warfare programs to determine if these programs are adequately managed,
prioritized, and funded. However, GAO also found that current
suppression capabilities are not adequate and that no comprehensive,
cross-service strategy exists for achieving the suppression mission.</abstract>
