JOINT ELECTRONIC WARFARE CENTER (JEWC)

The Joint Electronic Warfare Center (JEWC) was established in 1980 at Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, to serve as the Department of Defense’s focal point for joint electronic warfare (EW) operations and integration. Originally tasked with coordinating and enhancing EW capabilities across all U.S. military branches, the JEWC played a vital role in planning, analysis, and support for joint and combined operations worldwide. Over the years, the center developed advanced modeling and simulation tools, conducted electronic warfare assessments, and provided critical expertise during major conflicts, including Operations Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom. In 2004, the JEWC was reorganized under U.S. Strategic Command, continuing its mission to ensure electromagnetic spectrum superiority for joint and coalition forces.
