Realistically evaluate systems requirement- M&S Consider upgradable capabilities Realistic training Data links are getting crucial for

• perations

Conclusion

• Need for advanced wide

band EW systems .

• Open & Flexible

Architecture

• Global EW Market

forecast $30 Billion between 2018-2028.

• Growing need of

indigenization and Collaborative Production

• Exploit technology with

judicious operational concepts.
