The main thrust of the course is to understand the traceability of mission-related performance requirements from the target, through the payloads and data links, to the operational user. The course begins a brief overview of the history of UAV development and current...

This conference will examine how systems that use the EMS can be better integrated with the combat system; more efficiently sustained and upgraded; and the strategies that provide a way ahead. Today’s EW combat systems are expensive and likely to remain in the DoD’s inventory longer as downturned budgets struggle to procure replacement systems. To ensure these systems remain effective, both performance insertion and cost reduction...
