An introduction to the major concepts of Radar and Electronic Warfare

ATI's Radar and Electronic WarfareTest course

Summary:

    Technical Training Short On Site Course Quote

      This four-day course covers the major concepts of Radar and Electronic Warfare (EW). The first two days cover radar and make us of the excellent book, Introduction of Airborne Radar (Second 'Edition), by Stimson. The material is presented in an easy-to-understand manner, with emphasis on those concepts of most importance to the EW matters to follow. Understanding radar principles is very important to effectively apply electronic warfare concepts to counter radar. The last two days make use of EW materials collected by the instructor, with many of the materials from his book, Radar Vulnerability to Jamming. The participant gains understanding of radar and how the main methods of EW interact with radar. Other EW topics are covered briefly, including infrared systems and lares, and communications jamming. This provides the participant with a well-rounded view of the entire spectrum of EW. The basic organization of EW databases is also covered so that the participant learns how the information needed for effective jamming of radar systems is obtained and used by the EW community.

    Instructor:

      Richard G. Wiley, Ph.D. has written 5 books on ELINT and EW and has published many technical papers. His latest book is ELINT: the Interception and Analysis of Radar Signals, Artech House 2006. He has been an instructor in George Washington University's Continuing Education program, for RAS, Inc, ATI, Inc, and for the Association of Old Crows (AOC). He is past chairman of the AOC Professional Development Committee. He was elected a Fellow of the IEEE
