Are you engaged in international defense business? Steven A. Casazza, President of Defense Trade Solutions will provide an overview of industry obligations and best practices for compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). This webinar is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the regulatory framework governing the export and import of defense articles,...

The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) has a role, mandated by Congress, to conduct cyber assessments across the Department. Within the DOT&E Cyber Assessment Program (CAP), there is also a team focused on offensive cyberspace operations (OCO) and Non-Kinetic Effects (NKE). The DOT&E CAP OCO/NKE establishes an annual Campaign Plan to “establish a Cyber Readiness Campaign for OCO/NKE that can inform the Depart...

Hiding from and surprising an opponent are tactics that have been used in warfare throughout history. Radiation absorbent material (RAM) is a material designed and shaped to absorb incident RF energy, making the radar returns from vehicles with RAM, harder to see with air defense radar systems. The better the RAM material and design, the harder it would be to attack the protected platform. The most effective types of RAM are pyramid shaped ane...

This presentation will discuss the history and development of Cognitive radar (CR) and electronic warfare (EW). These systems did not happen overnight but were the result of a technological tipping point that has been years in the making. Until the early 2000s, advanced radar/EW were incremental advancements in adaptive signal processing such as adaptive beamforming and space-time adaptive processing, more powerful digital embedded real-time c...

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...

Collaborative Warfare is driving all aspects of modern warfare into a new reality. To achieve efficient situational awareness (SA), effective mission planning, coordination and execution requires a new integrated and cooperative paradigm to achieve battlefield superiority. The employment of coordinated cyber capabilities as well as distributed and cognitive networked EW systems must be selected carefully to deliver the best mission effectivene...

Registration for this event is sold out. The overall goal of this signature conference for Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) professionals from the military, government, industry, and academic fields is to discuss issues related to achieving Force Level EW and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) capabilities across the Services. Technical panels and keynote speakers will address EW and EMSO requirements and emerging technologies necessary to...

The World of Airborne Expandables & small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) Thursday, May 23, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT Expendables and sUAS are playing an increasingly important role in military operations, due in large part to their unique capabilities, often low development and deployment costs, and expanding platform, payload and mission planning technologies afforded by a robust commercial off the shelf (COTS) market. This webinar wil...

Theme: Evaluating Current EW Innovation in Context of Real World Conflicts The war in Ukraine has identified the relevance of Collaborative EW in support of rapid unfolding operations, with rapid adaptation and innovation contributing to the fight. What does this conflict teach us about what to do and what not to do in the spectrum? Who else will learn these lessons and to what result? Objective: As EW warfighting requirements continue to evol...

U.S. electromagnetic warfare capabilities and concepts evolved in the three decades since the Cold War to support defensive missions against relatively unsophisticated threats. The bulk of DoD electromagnetic attack (EA) investment went to improved versions of self-defense systems such as the F-15 EPAWSS, SLQ-32 SEWIP, and Next Generation Jammer while electromagnetic protection (EP) focused on hardening radars and communications against exploi...
