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...

WEBINAR PROCEEDING AS SCHEDULED STRATCOM’s Perspective on: The Future of Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Control October 3rd, 2013 | 1400-1445 EDT AOC VIRTUAL SERIES WEBINAR DETAILS Freedom of maneuver in the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) is inherently critical to conduct operations in and across all domains and joint functions. Our ability to prioritize, integrate, and de-conflict EMS operations must adapt to meet the demands of an incr...

Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) Radar and What to Do About It This 45 minute presentation explores Low Probability of Intercept (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 strategies to intercept LPI signals at greater range are explored and examples are provided. The webinar participant comes...

The EW Octagon: A way to test Cognitive EW WEBINAR DETAILS Major Kenneth "Beldar" Hollinger is a Marine EA-6B Electronic Countermeasures Officer currently serving as a flight instructor at VT-86. In this 45 minute presentation, he will be discussing a concept he calls... "THE EW OCTAGON" The ability to transmit and receive information to and from nodes on the battlefield can be the key to winning or losing a fight. The Electromagnetic Spectrum...

WEBINAR DETAILS In this 45 minute presentation, Dave Adamy will describe the approaches to the passive location of hostile transmitters and the important techniques in current use. Each technique will be described at the system level along with typical applications, the typical location accuracy achieved, and important features and shortcomings. Calibration approaches and practical application challenges will also be discussed. REGISTRATION Ju...
