*David from Cyntony explains the difference between EP, EA and ES.*

## Defining Electronic Attack, Protection, and Support

Electronic warfare is divided into three categories: electronic attack, electronic protection, and electronic support.

1. Electronic Attack: Associated with *jamming *or other effects, delivered offensively, to degrade the electromagnetic systems and communications of an opposing force.
2. Electronic Protection: Tactics used defensively to prevent or mitigate the effects of electronic attack on your own communications systems.
3. Electronic Support: The ways in which you gain situational awareness on the electromagnetic spectrum, through operations such as signals intelligence, and direction finding.
