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...

To identify and develop innovative talent across the US Department of Defense (DoD) requires much more than permission to think outside the box. It requires a composite of exceptional minds encouraged to expand and multiply their ideas through discussion, analysis, and extensive questioning of each other. To accomplish this task, hiring and assignment practices are key. They must be designed to identify and attract key skills, knowledge, and o...

Incident response is an important component to any information security program. When defense controls fail, incident responders are responsible for containing and remediating attacks against your organization. Given the importance of the role of incident response in an organization, it is important to understand the challenges these teams face and support them in their efforts. The focus of the event is to illustrate the challenges incident r...

The Domain Name System (DNS) is essentially the central nervous system of the internet—everyone needs it to work because without DNS services, digital business would come to a halt. Cybercriminals know this, too, and use DNS services to launch their attacks while they simultaneously attack the DNS services of their targets. Therefore, it’s not only important to protect your organization’s DNS service, but also to use the data...
