Radar resilience is no longer defined only by hardware performance. In modern defence environments, the more important question is how well a radar system, its processing chain, and its operators can respond when the electromagnetic environment changes.

In May 2025, the multinational field exercise Hedgehog 2025 (also known as Siil 2025 in Estonia) brought together more than 16 000 personnel from 12 member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. With scenarios centered on a simulated incursion across Estonia’s eastern border, the drills were intended to test European deterrence and defense concepts under high pressure (Defence24.com, 17.02.2026).

AAE Opinion No. 18, “Collaborative Air and Space Combat Operations in Europe” calls for collaborative air and space combat structures in Europe; this article examines its implications and outlines a platform-based C4ISR response.

This article provides an overview of cognitive radar and cognitive electronic warfare, explaining adaptive sensing, decision-making, and the role of algorithms, simulation, and training.

As U.S. strategic focus shifts toward the Indo-Pacific, Europe faces rising pressure to coordinate defense autonomously; this article examines the technical role of ISR integration, MPCC, PESCO, and EDF in enabling European military action.

This blog explains why chaff clouds and radar decoys remain relevant in EW training, while a short video shows how they are configured and displayed in SkySim’s ECCM extension.

This article introduces electronic counter-countermeasures explained as a layered ECCM stack, from waveform agility to multi-static geometry. It further describes SkyRadar trains these capabilities.

The rapid growth of small, low-cost drones has placed new demands on Electronic Warfare, requiring defensive systems capable of detecting and responding to agile, low-signature threats. A recent comprehensive survey of anti-UAV research offers an in-depth view of how multi-modal sensing, machine learning and adaptive algorithms are reshaping this domain. As a continuation of our series on innovation in EW, this article examines these developments and their implications for future training and defense architectures.

The rapid evolution of drones in the Russia–Ukraine war has turned the battlefield into a continuous arena of experimentation, where new designs, tactics and countermeasures emerge within weeks. Recent insights from the Center for Strategic and International Studies highlight how this acceleration is reshaping Electronic Warfare and forcing militaries to rethink procurement, doctrine and training. As a continuation of our series on innovation in EW, this article explores how the frontlines have become a testing ground for adaptive systems and what this means for future defense ecosystems.
