This article examines electromagnetic threats arising in modern military conflicts, particularly those created by electronic warfare (EW) systems. The main types of threats, including jamming, signal distortion, and information interception, are analyzed. The technical characteristics of EW sources, such as frequency range, radiation power, mobility, and functional capabilities, are considered. Special attention is given to the impact of EW systems on the effectiveness of modern strike systems, including air defense systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and precision-guided weapons. Methods of countering electromagnetic threats are outlined, including the use of artificial intelligence for adaptive control, the application of anti-jamming technologies, and the implementation of advanced hardware protection measures. The prospects for the development of EW technologies are analyzed, focusing on integration with automated systems and the creation of multifunctional platforms. The conclusions provide recommendations for enhancing the resilience of strike systems against EW influence and identify directions for further research in this field.
