Electronic Support Measures

Electronic Support Measures (ESM) refer to technologies and techniques used to detect and analyze electronic signals, such as communications and radar emissions, from enemy devices. ESM helps military forces gather intelligence about potential threats, assess their capabilities, and improve their own strategies. Essentially, it involves listening to and interpreting electronic signals in order to understand what adversaries are doing. This information can be crucial for making informed decisions in defense operations, enhancing situational awareness, and ensuring better responses to threats.
