ATI's Electronic Protection and Electronic Attack course

Summary:

    Technical Training Short On Site Course Quote

      This three-day course addresses the key elements of electronic attack (EA) and electronic protection (EP). This includes EA/ECM principles, philosophies, and strategies; basic radar systems and waveforms; the radar range equation and how to manipulate it to derive basic noise and deception jamming equations; electronic attack techniques and waveform generation; electronic protection techniques; threat system analyses; applications to communication and infra-red countermeasures concepts; and testing and evaluation methods and limitations..

    Instructors:

      Brian Moore has over 25 years experience in systems engineering in EW, ES / ESM, and ELINT, including electronic attack and radar systems. He has a BSEE from Michigan Technological University and an MSEE from Syracuse University. Mr. Moore has performed system engineering and analysis to integrate new EW technology and techniques with existing systems and platforms throughout his career. In addition, Mr. Moore provides technical inputs to the government for ELINT R&D and provides consulting for EW system architecture and processing, specific emitter identification and tracking, feature extraction, intentional modulation on pulse, signal detection, and wideband / LPI processing. Mr. Moore has performed various EW/ESM systems engineering, analysis, development, integration, and test efforts (INEWS, F-22, A-12, B-2, special projects). Mr. Moore is currently the Senior Vice President and Technical Director for a major research company.
