ATI's IFF & SSR Beacon Identification Systems course
|
|
Summary:
This fast moving three-day course is designed
for managers, engineers and technicians who
need an understanding of the basics of IFF/SSR
radar beacon technology and systems. The
principles of the various IFF/SSR systems are
presented. The system design tradeoffs are
discussed in the context of the different target
identification and air traffic control mission
requirements. This course will provide the ability
to understand and communicate with IFF/SSR
engineers and project personnel.
Instructor:
Dr. Patrick W. Johnson is a former Navy
Commander and founder and former President
of American Electronics. He is now
Sr. VP for R&D at ZAI, Inc. He
received a BS from the U.S. Naval
Academy, an MSEE from the
Naval Postgraduate School in
Monterey, California, and his PhD
from Queens University in
Kingston, Ontario, Canada. While in the Navy,
he was the OPNAV sponsor for shipboard radar
and target identification systems. At Amelex, he
was the Principal Investigator for a continuing
series of radar and IFF/ID programs and
projects for the Army, Navy, Air Force, FAA,
NASA and DARPA.
