Electronic Warfare Introduction / Overview Two days, unclassified -- Presented by Dave Adamy
Course description: This course provides an introduction to and overview of electronic warfare at the systems and operational level. It covers the important EW definitions and concepts in practical, physical terms, and goes on to teach the important EW calculations using simple dB formulas. All information needed to understand the material is explained and included in the course.
Outline: EW Principles and Overview Basic EW definitions and concepts dB math Frequency ranges Radio propagation overview EW Threats Types of threats Lethal range Guidance approaches Threat signals Types of radars Resolution cell LPI signals Radio Propagation The one way link equation Radar link equation ESM / SIGINT Concepts ESM vs. ECM ESM vs. SIGINT Signal externals & analysis ESM Systems Antennas Receivers Displays Intercept calculations Search and Probability of Intercept Emitter Location ECM Concepts and Calculations Jamming definitions Chaff & Decoys Burn-through Self Protection J/S and Burn-through range calculations Stand-off J/S and Burn-through calculations Jamming Techniques Cover jamming techniques Deceptive Jamming Techniques
Presentation Technique: Lecture, using Power Point slides In-class exercises
Who should attend: This course is designed for technical professionals who are new to the EW profession, but it is also valuable for professionals in related fields who interface with EW technical staff.
Class Materials: 308 page hard cover text book, EW 101 written by the course presenter. Two supplementary booklets, antenna slide rule
Note: Each attendee should bring a scientific calculator for in-class exercises
