How the West is Losing the Navigation and Timing War – And risking everything. Thursday, March 26, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT When the US and Europe abandoned robust terrestrial systems for satellites, they became vulnerable to adversaries wise enough to use both. Global Navigation Satellite Systems like America’s GPS are essential to virtually every networked technology and many others. Yet GNSS signals are very easy to jam and spoof....

RF Challenges in the Modern EW Battlespace Thursday, March 12, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Understanding core attributes of RF operating bands is critical to both the EW system designer and the tactical operator. This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of the RF spectrum, highlighting the pros and cons of various frequency bands and the commensurate design and operational tradeoffs that must be made to maximize EW effectiveness.

Electronic Warfare in the new Threat Environment Thursday, February 13, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EST ABOUT 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...

Infrared Countermeasures: A Heated Topic Thursday, January 30, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT This webinar will cover the general technology underlying IR guided weapons and countermeasures against them. We will begin with IR theory and atmospheric absorption.

Electronic Warfare Modeling and Simulation Thursday, January 16, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EST Modeling and Simulation is extremely useful to the field of Electronic Warfare. It includes computer modeling for engagement analysis, simulation for training and simulation for test and evaluation of systems, and subsystems. This webinar introduces all of these applications. After covering basic definitions, the webinar focuses on some important modeling an...

Electronic Protection Electronic Protection (EP), sometimes called Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM), along with Electronic Attack (EA) and Electronic Support (ES) constitute the triad of major subgroups of Electronic Warfare. Radar EP techniques include (1) reduction of side lobe jamming through auxiliary antennas and processing; (2) reduce deceptive jamming through special processing circuits and modulations; and (3) reduce jamming u...

3 Pillars of EW - Electronic Support Thursday, November 14, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EST ABOUT Modern Electronic Warfare is made up of 3 vital components. Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Support (ES), and Electronic Protection (EP). This 3-part series discusses in detail the intricacies of each “pillar” in the EW enterprise. In most military disciplines, the terms “attack,” “support,” and “protect...

3 Pillars of EW - Electronic Attack Thursday, November 7, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EST ABOUT This first session in the 3-part series covers the importance of Electronic Attack. EA is the discipline of attacking an adversary’s access to the electromagnetic spectrum. Individual EA topics include: RADAR Electronic Attack (EA) vs. Communications Electronic Attack (EA) The Jamming System Polarization Jammer RF Spot Size Noise vs. False Targets Rang...

RAF 100 Group and its EW LegacyThursday, October 3, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUTSeventy-five years ago the leadership of the Royal Air Force’s (RAF) Bomber Command took a decision which would change air power forever. It created 100 Group. This was a specialist unit tasked with unleashing kinetic and electronic effects against the Luftwaffe’s Integrated Air Defence System (IADS). The Group came into being as the Command intensifi...

Introduction to Machine Learning for EW Thursday, September 5, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT While machine learning is often discussed as a key technological advancement, its utility to Electronic Warfare (EW) is often poorly understood.
