Research for SEW

At the request of Commander, U.S. Naval Forces, Central Command (COMUSNAVCENT), the Center for Naval Analyses conducted a reconstruction of selected events involving Naval forces during operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. This volume of the Desert Storm Reconstruction Report documents observations derived from the reconstruction of selected portions of the Navy's Command, Control, and Communications and Space and Electronic Warfare (C3/SEW) efforts. Within the time limits imposed, the C3/SEW team focused on the following areas of concern: command structure, control and decision-making; communications connectivity and capacities; airborne electronic warfare; surface electronic warfare; operational deception; reconnaissance; space systems support; and contribution of the TRAP broadcast.
