Armada explored the SMART Kill, or Spectrum Measures Against Radio Frequency Threats, concept back in November 2024. How has the concept developed during the intervening years?Alasdair ‘Gilly’ Gilchrist, a former Royal Navy Electronic Warfare (EW) practitioner and an EW subject matter expert, has been developing his SMART Kill concept for several years. He was previously a guest on the Radioflash! podcast to discuss this subject in late 2024.The global security picture, notably the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the recent conflict involving Israel and the United States, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, underscore SMART Kill’s necessity and relevance. In Armada’s latest Radioflash! episode we catch up with Mr. Gilchrist. We explore how SMART Kill has developed and his plans to continue SMART Kill’s evolution. A link to Mr. Gilchrist’s recent article on SMART Kill in the Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance can be found here. He can also be reached via his LinkedIn profile.
