美国空战司令部启动了第 350 频谱战联队

　　华盛顿——美国空军于6月25 日正式启用了一个新的、首支此类联队，旨在提高电磁频谱的重要性。

　　一份新闻稿称，已经投入使用一年多的第 350 频谱战联队于6 月 25 日收到了美国空战司令部的指令开始工作，希望启用、装备和优化 EMS 能力的部署，目的是在非物理领域提供可持续的竞争优势。该联队还将为电子战支持提供维护、操作和技术专业知识。

　　联队总部设在埃格林空军基地，同时选择了一个永久地点。它向空军作战中心报告，该中心执行作战测试和评估、战术开发和高级训练。

　　近年来，对手已经注意到美国军队如何依赖频谱，并试图通过采用高科技方法来阻止访问和干扰或欺骗通信来破坏它们。

　　“电磁频谱的竞争比以往任何时候都更加重要。联合部队通过 EMS 连接并在其中传递效果，”第 350 频谱战联队指挥官威廉·杨上校说。“如果我们在 EMS 中输掉了战斗，我们将输掉所有其他领域的战斗。我们在这里帮助确保不会发生这种情况。成立这个单位强调了空军对巩固和现代化我们整个企业的承诺，以便联合作战人员可以在我们选择的时间、地点和参数下自由攻击、机动和保护自己。”

　　该联队的启动是美国空军于 2018 年为期一年的研究的结果，该研究检查了该军种对电磁频谱的方法。

　　美国空军作战中心指挥官凯斯·坎宁安少将说：“第 350 频谱作战联队的启动是空军为保持我们在电磁战中的竞争优势所采取的最新举措。” “将这一关键任务置于专门负责该任务集的联队指挥官之下，对于加速所需的变革并确保我们的作战人员能够继续在 EMS 中战斗并取得胜利至关重要。”

　　联队的启动也是空军正在采取的更大的多方面方法的一部分，以重振其在电磁领域内的行动，以获得对抗对手的优势。其他方法包括重组总部员工和对遗留设备进行现代化改造。

　　Air Force activates first of its kind wing for spectrum

　　Air Combat Command activated the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing.

　　WASHINGTON — The Air Force officially activated June 25 a new, first of its kind wing aimed at the increasing importance of the electromagnetic spectrum.

　　The 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing, which has been in the works for more than a year, received the designation to start work from Air Combat Command June 25, a release said. The group hopes to enable, equip and optimize the fielding of EMS capabilities with the aim of providing a sustainable and competitive advantage in the non-physical realm. The wing will also provide maintenance, operational and technical expertise for electronic warfare support.

　　The wing is headquartered at Eglin Air Force Base while a permanent location is chosen. It reports to the Air Force Warfare Center, which performs operational test and evaluation, tactics development, and advanced training.

　　In recent years, adversaries have noted how U.S. forces are reliant in the spectrum and have sought to disrupt them by adopting high-tech methods to block access and jam or spoof communications.

　　“The competition in the electromagnetic spectrum is more important than ever before. The Joint Force is connected by and delivers effects in and through the EMS,” Col. William Young, commander of the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing, said. “If we lose the fight in the EMS, we will lose the fights in all other domains. We're here to help make sure that doesn't happen. Standing up this unit emphasizes the Air Force's commitment to consolidating and modernizing our entire enterprise so that joint warfighters have freedom to attack, maneuver and protect themselves at the time, place and parameters of our choosing.”

　　The wing is the result of a yearlong study the Air Force kicked off in 2018 that examined the service's approach to the electromagnetic spectrum.

　　“The activation of the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing is the latest step the Air Force has taken to maintain our competitive advantage in electromagnetic warfare,” Maj. Gen. Case Cunningham, commander of the Air Force Warfare Center, said. “Placing this critical mission under a wing commander dedicated to this mission set is fundamental to accelerating needed change and ensuring our warfighters can continue to fight and win in the EMS.”

　　The wing's activation is also one piece to a larger multifaceted approach the Air Force is taking to reinvigorate its operations within the electromagnetic sphere to gain an advantage against adversaries. Other methods include reorganizing headquarters staff and modernizing legacy equipment.
