COURSE OVERVIEW

This RF Electromagnetic Warfare Training Fundamentals course provides an understanding of the principles and operation of electromagnetic warfare (EW) systems used by today’s military. The course emphasizes the operation of radar-controlled weapon systems and the EW systems designed to detect, identify, and counter them. You will initially be tutored in the fundamentals of electromagnetic waves and their propagation. Subsequent lectures describe the basic operation of radar systems and the implementation of search and tracking functions. Building upon these foundations, you will learn about EW receiver systems and electronic attack systems. The coursework continues with insight into the application of EW concepts to data links and networks. More specialized applications of EW are also discussed, such as communications jamming and naval surface EW.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this RF Electromagnetic Warfare Training Fundamentals course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • Understand how to apply the radar range equation to analyze EW scenarios.
  • Understand the basics of on-board electric support systems and techniques.
  • Develop intuition into how EA techniques affect the guidance scheme of a weapon system.
  • Understand how EW fundamentals are applied to air, land and sea domains.
  • Learn the key concepts that will be important in the design and testing of EW systems.
  • Basic concepts of electromagnetic field theory
  • Basics of radar cross section, including its generation and reduction
  • Basic radar functions and signal processing
  • How radars track and guide weapons to a target
  • How electronic attack affects the victim receivers
  • Challenges in the design and implementation of EW receivers
