Global changes in precision weapons strategy, tactics and performance lead us to create a new concept of electronic warfare use. Use of precision weapons became multi environmental and is based on high precision homing methods and effective anti-jamming equipment. To ensure precision weapons development parity it is necessary to focus on the most promising scientific research and creating key technologies for electronic warfare. 

The article analyzes radio engineering systems and electronic warfare development features. Also promising research directions in solving the problem of increasing efficiency of electronic warfare against precision weapons were formulated. The structure and the value of electronic warfare, methodical approaches to increasing efficiency of modern electronic warfare means that are used by foreign countries and their experience in electronic warfare development are described. The directions of means of electronic warfare development are defined, analyzed and recommendations were made. 

Based on materials from foreign and domestic open sources modern science and technology achievements were analyzed, and summarized conclusions were formulated for creating scientific and methodological approaches to development of a mathematical apparatus for development and use of electronic warfare. 

The key scientific and technological trend in this direction is development of intellectual electronic countermeasures to the enemy electronic equipment, which is hardware and software complex capable of detecting, identifying all radio frequency sources in the area and using specific variety of practices for each type of source, making the enemy electronic equipment inefficient. The new ECM equipment has to be easily integrated in existing electronic equipment. When unknown type of radio frequency source is detected, the certain practices of electronic interference are selected automatically.

Methodological approaches and directions of electronic warfare equipment development described in the article can be used as a basis for the formation of scientific and methodological approach to development of a mathematical apparatus for development and use of electronic warfare and justification of technical requirements for such equipment.
