CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION Due to protracted acquisitions and traditional doctrinal warfare solutions there is a lack of exposure or appreciation for the cutting-edge innovation and technological development resulting in missed opportunities to provide warfighters the most up-to-date spectrum and information related capabilities. The 2013 Land EW Conference; Innovation and Demonstration will be held 10-11 December in Quantico, VA to provide a foru...

Electronic Warfare may be enjoying a moderate “renaissance” due to increasing recognition among commanders at all levels that controlling the Electromagnetic Spectrum and ensuring its availability is critical to all other security missions. The asymmetric conflicts in the Middle East, the growing reliance on “Net-Centric” warfare, increasing technological parity of foreign nations, unmanned operations, commercial-off-th...

Course Description: Learn about current methods, future problems and possible solutions to ELINT challenges. The emphasis is on signal interception, signal processing, and signal analysis – especially as applied to modern radar signals. Attendees will learn first-hand about ELINT by working exercises designed to bring out the practical aspects of the theories presented. The course makes use of the ELINT book written by the instructor as...

Course Description: Unmanned aeriel systems (UAS) have contributed greatly to operations, and will continue to contribute even more in the future as the DoD produces increasingly sophisticated vehicles and payloads. Until recently, however, EW has been a marginal UAV mission. This situation will significantly change in the near future as EW payloads are produced and integrated into operations. Proliferation of EW payloads in the future may als...

Please join the Association of Old Crows (AOC) for Capitol Hill Awareness Day (CHAD) 2013. CHAD is an important opportunity for U.S. AOC members to visit the nation’s capital, experience first-hand how Congress works, and represent the AOC and Electronic Warfare (EW) in meetings with congressional representatives and senators. The event is free, but you must be a U.S. resident to attend. How Capitol Hill Awareness Day (CHAD) works: RSVP...

PROUD LEGACY. STRONG FUTURE The AOC has been at the forefront of Electronic Warfare advocacy and professional development for 50 years. We are proud of the achievements of the US and our international allies through conflict, the Cold War, against terrorism and in peacekeeping globally. Regional challenges and threats are now rising. Technology once the preserve of the military is widely available and advancing at an accelerating pace. To ensu...

Course Description: This one day course (divided into four 1.5 hour sessions) explores LPI radar from the interceptor's point of view. Starting from fundamental concepts which illustrate the constraints on LPI radar design and also on the design of intercept receivers, various stategies to intercept LPI signals at greater range are explored and examples are provided. The participant comes away with an in depth understanding of LPI radar and wh...

Course Description: Pulse Repetition Intervals (PRIs) are the key to identifying the signals of many radar systems. The first step is to deinterleave signals from multiple radar systems. This class provides a brief introduction to PRI analysis and deinterleaving from the ELINT/EW point of view. Course Outline: PRI types and Definitions Relationship to Unambiguous Range and Velocity Optimum PRI and Range and Velocity “eclipsing” Nom...

SYMPOSIUM THEME The changing face of the Pacific Information Environment. SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVE and BACKGROUND The purpose of this symposium is to examine the contested and congested information environment across the Pacific Region and discuss how multinational information operations can help shape conditions for continued stability and peace within the region. The symposium will provide a venue for increased awareness of Asia-Pacific issues an...

Overview of EW Modeling and Simulation This is an overview discussion of Electronic Warfare Modeling and Simulation. It explains the purposes of Modeling and Simulation and the basic approaches. It also discusses the steps in developing a model and the required fidelity for two simulation missions: training and test & evaluation (T&E). Among the concepts covered are the roles of spherical trigonometry, propagation models, the gaming ar...
