Electronic Warfare Market in Italy
Italy anchors a meaningful slice of the global electronic warfare market through Leonardo. Electronic warfare spans sensing the spectrum (ESM), denying it (jamming/EA) and surviving it (EP). The electromagnetic spectrum is now contested in every engagement, making EW a top-tier procurement priority across domains.
Industrial Scaling & Supply Chain Dynamics:Western forces are rebuilding EW capability after two decades of counterinsurgency neglect, with dedicated EA aircraft, squadron-level EW pods and software-defined systems that blur SIGINT and attack.
