ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RADIO-ELECTRONIC WARFARE AT THE SEA
Independent Military Review. June 11-17, 2004. By Vladislav Kramar
"The enemy fired more than 60 shells of heavy caliber. There were no ships
taken hits" - these are words from the report of Rear-Admiral Ukhtomsky to Adjutant
General Alekseev about shelling of the fortress Port Arthur by Japanese ships
on April 2 (15), 1904, when "the ironclad "Pobeda" and the station "Zolotaya
Gora" began to spoil enemy's telegrams by means of powerful sparks". This suppression
of radio transmissions of Japanese ships correcting the fire was the first case
of intentional radiointerference creation. Readers can see parts and full texts
of unique documents of Russian military history in the book "Naval Radio-Electronic
Warfare. From Port Arthur to the Present". The publication is timed to the 100th
anniversary of the radio-electronic warfare. With this book the Publishing House
"Arms and Technologies" has opened a special series "Russia's Arsenals". The
book is distinguished due to good illustrations - it contains more than 500
photos, drawings and schemes. The group of authors is headed by the Chief of
Naval EW Service Yuri Efimov.
The book describes not only facts of the far past, but also every step during
creation of a modern EW system. It describes in detail special scientific institutes
- the 1st and the 24th Central Scientific Research Institute of the Defense
Ministry of the Russian Federation. The peak of EW facilities development was
in the '70s of the XX century. By that time all battle ships of the Navy were
equipped with EW facilities. Coastal EW forces have been organized at every
fleet. They were able to disorganize enemy's control systems in oceans at the
distance as long as 1000 miles from the coast. A special attention is paid in
the book to designs of shipborne EW facilities - radio-electronic jamming systems,
shootable interference devices, and equipment for hydro-acoustic countermeasures.
A separate chapter contains information about industrial enterprises manufacturing
the equipment.
