An introduction to High Power Radio Frequency/Microwave (HPM) Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) and their effects. The webinar will cover what HPM weapons are, the type of weapons – Narrowband and Wideband, how the weapons are like, but different from traditional Electronic Warfare (EW) and Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP), how the HPM energy couples in to a target’s electronics and their effects. We will also cover some of the basic modeli...

The 10th annual CEMA Conference comes at a critical inflection point for Electronic Warfare (EW). After a 30+ year hiatus, the Army is on the cusp of fielding a variety of terrestrial and airborne EW capabilities that will reestablish its capabilities within the electromagnetic spectrum. This conference will focus on the pending delivery of these capabilities in support of multi-domain operations (MDO) under large-scale combat operations (LSCO...

Spectrum Managers must adapt to a paradigm shift in the tactical electromagnetic environment, plus cope with personnel shortages and a vast operational theatre. New technologies and innovations in SDR sensor deployment methods can assist spectrum managers in becoming more like an orchestra conductor, controlling multiple sensor systems, vice just being a "one man/woman band" with just a single handheld. In the webinar, let's explore novel depl...

As will be shown in this webinar, modern threat systems are difficult to deny and degrade within peer mission environments. There are many reasons for this difficulty and many methods to “attack” this problem set: one of which is using distributed, collaborative, autonomous EW systems of systems. Using existing, government-open tools, Mr. Hellwig will discuss methods and approaches for evaluating and effecting modern, complex spect...

Modern wireless and electromagnetic technologies continue to advance at a rapid and sustained pace. While the pace of technology advancement has been rapid, security against threats that exploit wireless devices and networks has not kept up. Data, operational information, intelligence, and intellectual property are under constant attack. Threats are increasing in both magnitude and consequence, and in parallel with a rising reliance on wireles...

US and Coalition Forces in the First Gulf War, 1991, were equipped from deep stockpiles of highly capable kinetic and non-kinetic weapons systems. In contrast, supplying Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine War has challenged weapons stockpiles and supply chains, share-ability/exportability, and trainability across dozens of countries’ militaries. How can we best ensure superior provisioning of warfighting in the EMS for future large scale, and...

This webinar will review some of the foundational concepts of space warfare, illustrate some of the previous space wars or space “incidents” that have occurred in the past, and go into detail of the various space attacks that have been occurring due to the Ukrainian conflict starting in 2014 until the present day.

Today’s wars in Ukraine and Israel highlight the criticality of sensing and understanding on the battlefield. Despite ubiquitous satellite, airborne, and terrestrial surveillance, combatants on both sides of these conflicts have been surprised, with sometimes catastrophic results. The US military should embrace the resulting lessons as it considers how to counter Chinese forces in China’s own back yard. Survival in this highly-cont...

Our adversaries have developed an impressive array of upgrades to the threats we face; they are designed specifically to overcome the ways our Electronic Warfare systems have been so successful for so many years. This webinar covers the nature of those upgrades and generally what we are required to do to overcome them. The new threat generation(s) have longer range – making stand-off jamming more difficult. They also have significant ele...

Considering EW as one’s academic field can - and in the presenter's experience does - lead to questions related to one’s sanity, this webinar will argue that EW is actually an excellent vehicle for research, and especially, teaching - the traditional tasks of academia. There is a surprisingly large number of publications on EW topics in the open literature. Some examples of such topics will be considered, along with some interestin...
