About Concepts of EW and IW
This practical three-day course provides insight into the whole electronic-warfare/information-warfare field at the systems and operational level. It covers the basic definitions and technical and operational concepts of electronic and information warfare to enable students to communicate effectively with professionals in those fields and as a foundation for later higher level courses. It uses little math beyond algebra, yet students will learn to use important propagation and jamming equations in their simple dB forms. All concepts are explained in practical, physical terms.
The course is ideal for engineers expert in one aspect of EW/IW who want to round their EW education, engineers and advanced technicians new to the field, and those who need to understand how their products and subsystems fit into the big picture.
Course Topics
- Introduction: Basic concepts of EW and IW. Definitions, terminology and descriptions of subfields. Description of threats and threat signals. Aircraft protection, Ship protection, Ground vehicle protection. Communications and infrastructure vulnerability and protection.
- Electronic Support Measures: Antennas, Receivers, Processors, Man-machine Interface, Search techniques, Emitter Location, Basic intercept calculations (received signal level, receiver sensitivity, effective range).
- Electronic Countermeasures: Jamming concepts, Radar and Communication Jamming, cover jamming, deceptive jamming, Basic jamming calculations (J/S & Burn through for self protection and stand-off jamming).
- Decoys: Expendable, towed and independent maneuver. Active and passive decoys. Decoy engagement calculations.
- Chaff: Techniques and effectiveness. Aircraft protection, Ship protection.
- Infrared and Electro-optical systems and countermeasures: Black body theory (very shallow coverage), Heat seeking missiles, FLIR, IRST, Night vision devices, Laser designators, Ladar, Flares, IR jammers, Laser countermeasures.
- Relationship of EW and IW: IW Concerns and Techniques.
