== Working on the EWAR Guide ==

'''Electronic Warfare (EWAR)''' decreases the enemy's effectiveness in battle using electronics-based modules. It is often categorized as a "force multiplier" because, without actually dealing any direct damage, electronic warfare can make a fleet several times more dangerous.

There are 4 basic kinds of electronic warfare:

There are four basic kinds of electronic warfare:

* Electronic Counter Measures (ECM, or "jams")

* ~~Tracking~~ Disruption ~~(TD)~~

* Weapon Disruption

* Remote Sensor Dampening (RSD, or "damps")

* Target Painting ~~(TP)~~

* Target Painting

Each of the four player races specializes in one of these types of EWAR, and has ships specially bonused to that EWAR type. The use of [[Tackling Guide|tackling modules]] to hold the enemy in place, and of [[Capacitor Warfare Guide|capacitor warfare modules]] to drain or steal capacitor, are both sometimes casually referred to as EWAR. However, at Eve University, EWAR typically refers to the 4 varieties above.

=== Burst Jammers ===

Burst Jammers are non-targeted, multispectral ECM modules that jam all surrounding targets within an effect radius. Burst Jammers do not distinguish between enemy, friendly, or NPC ships; all nearby targets are jammed, including ~~your~~ fleetmates and neutral pilots. Burst Jammers have much shorter range than targeted ECM modules, but higher jam strength, making them particularly effective against close-range frigates and drones.

Tech I Burst Jammers are also available in Compact, Enduring, and Scoped meta versions (not shown ~~above~~). Importantly, most Caldari ECM ships are '''not''' bonused for Burst Jammers, only for targeted ECM; the [[Scorpion]] is the only ship in EVE that receives a Burst Jammer bonus (to range). Burst Jammers are especially dangerous to use in high-security space, because if there is anything non-engageable within the module's effect radius—including neutral ships, gates, stations, even asteroids—CONCORD will respond by destroying your ship.

=== Bonus Modules, Skills, and Implants ===

==== Signal Distortion Amplifiers ====

==== Modules: Signal Distortion Amplifiers and Warfare Links ====

ECM is also unique in being the only type of EWAR with a low-slot assistance module, the Signal Distortion Amplifier. Signal Distortion Amplifiers are passive modules that provide a percentage increase to the jam strength and ECM range of your ECM modules.

Unlike ECM modules, Signal Distortion Amplifiers have not yet been re-balanced by CCP. So, because the Tech I, meta 4 'Hypnos' module has better stats than the Tech II module, it is the only version commonly used.

ECM is also assisted by a combat booster with the Information Warfare Link - Electronic Superiority (increases jam strength) and/or Recon Operation (increases range) modules active.

==== ECM Rigs ====

There are a few Electronics Superiority rigs that enhance ECM:

'''Particle Dispersion Augmentor:''' Increases the jam strength of a ship's ECM modules. (Tech I: 10%; Tech II: 15%)

'''Particle Dispersion Projector:''' Increases the optimal range of all targeted EWAR modules. (Tech I: 20%; Tech II: 25%)

'''Signal Disruption Amplifier:''' Reduces the activation cost (capacitor need) of ECM and Burst Jammer modules. (Tech I: -20%; Tech II: -25%)

These rigs are available in all sizes (Small, Medium, Large and Capital) and in both Tech I and Tech II variants. They all share the same drawback, a decrease in shields.

==== ECM Skills and Implants ====

Skills that enhance ECM:

{{sk|Electronic Warfare}}: 5% less capacitor need for ECM and ECM Burst systems per skill level.

{{sk|Long Distance Jamming}}: 10% bonus to optimal range for targeted EWAR modules per skill level.

{{sk|Frequency Modulation}}: 10% bonus to falloff for targeted EWAR modules per skill level.

{{sk|Signal Dispersion}}: 5% bonus to strength of all ECM jammers per skill level.

In addition, the '''Low-''' and '''Mid-Grade Centurion''' implant series provides bonuses to the optimal range of all EWAR modules, and the '''Zainou 'Gypsy' Electronic Warfare EW-901/906''' reduces the activation cost of ECM and Burst Jammers by 1-6%.
