Re: NATO Exercises
NATO conducts major electronic warfare exercise
Standing NATO Maritime Group Two (SNMG2) spearheaded an electronic warfare and anti-ship missile defence exercise called “Dynamic Guard” from Sept. 4-8 in the Alboran Sea, off Cartagena, Spain.
“Dynamic Guard 23-II” aimed to give Allied forces the opportunity to “test, train and enhance the techniques required to operate in a degraded or denied electro-magnetic environment.“
The NATO Joint Electronic Warfare Staff (JEWCS) lent its expertise to the drill by supplying specialist equipment and knowledge, crafting a lifelike electronic warfare situation.
Almost 1,000 personnel were involved, utilising several ships and aircraft, inclusive of SNMG2’s flagship, the ESPS Mendez Nunez (F104), and four additional Spanish vessels: ESPS Canarias (F86), ESPS Reina Sofia (F84), ESPS Cantabria (A15) and ESPS Vigia (P73).
British Falcon DA-20 aircraft and Spanish AV8B Harriers worked alongside the JEWCS-fitted ESPS Vigia, presenting a variety of genuine threats against which the Allied vessels were tested.
