Electronic Warfare Tactics Range

Electronic Warfare Tactics Range

An Electronic Warfare Tactics Range is a practice range which provides for the training of aircrew in electronic warfare. There are two such ranges in Europe; one at RAF Spadeadam in the United Kingdom and the POLYGON range in Germany and France.

EWTRs are equipped with ground-based equipment to simulate electronic warfare threats that aircrew might encounter on missions.
