"UK Cyber and Electromagnetic Command
The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has established a new Cyber and Electromagnetic Command as part of its Strategic Defence Review (SDR) launched after the Labour Party took office. This command will lead defensive cyber operations and coordinate offensive cyber capabilities with the National Cyber Force, aiming to enhance the UK's cyber warfare capabilities.
The command will sit under Strategic Command and is intended to harness all the Armed Forces' expertise in electromagnetic warfare, including the ability to jam drones and missiles, intercept communications, and degrade enemy command and control systems.
It will be led by General Sir James Hockenhull and will oversee a £1 billion investment in a Digital Targeting Web, which aims to better connect Armed Forces weapons systems and allow battlefield decisions for targeting enemy threats to be made and executed faster.
The establishment of this command reflects the changing nature of warfare, where cyber and electromagnetic activities play a crucial role alongside traditional combat methods. The MoD cites lessons learned from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, where the use of increasingly sophisticated drones and electronic warfare has significantly impacted the battlefield.
The new command is designed to ensure the UK is better prepared for future conflicts by being better connected, better equipped, and capable of innovating faster than adversaries.
