Leveraging Publicly Available Information to Map and Track GNSS Interference Thursday, May 21, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT In this webinar, we examine an emerging subset of EW activity: the ability to mimic, or “spoof,” legitimate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals in order to manipulate Positioning, Navigation, and Timing data. To date, methods for detecting GNSS spoofing and other interference have been reserved for org...

The Basic Concepts of ELINT Thursday, May 7, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Modern Electronic Warfare as is commonly defined is made up of 3 key components: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Support (ES), and Electronic Protection (EP). However, Electronic Warfare heavily relies on Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) and the data it provides including radar operating parameters, waveform details, geo-location, and other pertinent information. This sessio...

Pulse compression techniques inside LPI radars: basic principles and technology trends Thursday, April 23, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Most radars, such as surveillance and target tracking radars, have to contend with very capable and advanced threats on today’s battlefields. To survive to these countermeasures and accomplish their missions, radars have to hide their emissions from hostile receivers. For this purpose, and to mask their presen...

Overview of Missile Design, Development, and System Engineering Thursday, April 9, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Missiles provide the essential accuracy and standoff range capabilities that are required in modern warfare. Technologies for missiles are rapidly emerging, resulting in the frequent introduction of new missile systems. The capability to meet the requirements for performance, cost, risk, and launch platform integration of missile systems i...

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. Next we will discuss sensors and elements and characteristics of sensors such as IR sensors, field of view, lenses, low light level TV, sensor resolution, lasers, forward looking IR (FLIR),...

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...
