The ground is a major consideration for most airborne systems, with uncontrolled interactions normally ending badly. Airborne radar is no exception, and the effects of ground clutter are arguably the major challenge facing airborne radars. Ground clutter is visible over a wide range of directions, appears at most ranges of interest, and is moving relative to the radar. To make matters worse, antenna characteristics along with range and Doppler...

This presentation will discuss the basic principles of an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS), and the basic characteristics of a radar-guided missile system. This will be an overview webinar, not a detailed discussion. You will leave the webinar with a basic understanding of how IADS and missile intercepts work from the short discussion of each of the following 8 topics: Target detection, resolution, and countermeasures (noise jamming) Varia...

The Electronic Warfare (EW) community is witnessing the introduction of increasingly capable, phased-array-based, multifunctional, and cognitive radars in the modern scenario. This conceptual webinar approaches the perspectives and challenges related to the use of metasurfaces to enable multi-agent reinforcement-learning-capable EW drone swarms which, in turn, will be key to tackle the challenges associated with these new technologies.
