US Army testing Electronic Warfare Tactical Vehicle (EWTV)

As Joseph Trevithick reports on WarZone, elements of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division have begun testing a new armored vehicle that has the ability to jam enemy communications systems and other emitters. With potential opponents, especially Russia, investing heavily in similar systems, the service is looking to reinvigorate its own electronic warfare capabilities, which largely eroded after the end of the Cold War.
