Abstract
In this book we describe applications of Compressive Sensing (CS) based algorithms for Electronic Support (ES) tasks such as direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of modulated communication signals and spectrum sensing.

Notes
- 1.
Electronic support is a sub-category of electronic defence (ED). ES equipment is developed to collect, intercept, identify and locate enemy signals [3] in order to execute a specific task relative to the threat level that received signal holds. Received signals can also be used for situational awareness [1] or in other words, determine the type and location of enemy weapons or electronic capabilities. ES systems need to optimize data throughput whilst gathering a considerable amount of real time data. The objectives of ES systems are to determine the type of electromagnetic emitters present, and where they can be located.

Electronic defence and the term electronic warfare are interchangeably used in the open literature and refer to the same objective—that is to protect and ensure the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for friendly and hostile scenarios for the purpose of tactical military tasks which enable the safety of assets (i.e. equipment and people) in the field. In this body of work we will use the term electronic defence.
