21st Century Electronic Warfare Training - COURSE SYLLABUS
Introduction to Electronic Combat
  • This section will include an introduction to the EW taxonomy: Electronic Attack, Electronic Support, and Electronic Protection. We will discuss the both the old and new terminology. We will also discuss the electromagnetic spectrum and electromagnetic waves.
Modern Threat Weapons and Sensors.
  • We will discuss various air defense weapons systems including airborne intercept, surface to air missile systems, and anti-aircraft artillery, including both land based and maritime. We will also consider integrated air defense systems. Specific examples will be illustrated. We will also discuss different types of radar systems including surveillance, target acquisition, and fire control as well as electro-optic and infra-red sensor systems. Examples will be illustrated. Russian and Chinese systems will be described, and their geographic employment will be shown.
Vulnerability of Radar Modes.
  • We will discuss various radar modes such as non-coherent pulsed, coherent pulsed, pulse doppler, FM-CW, pulse compression, and monopulse. For each type we will discuss their vulnerability to EA and their resistance to countermeasures.
Vulnerability/Susceptibility of Weapon Systems.
  • We will consider effective countermeasures techniques to be applied to airborne interceptors, surface to air missile systems, and anti-aircraft artillery. We will also discuss radar cross section and stealth.
ESM (ES).
  • For electronic support, we will consider the various types of receivers that are employed, as well as the direction finding systems and analysis systems. Specific ES and SIGINT platforms will be described.
ECM Techniques (EA).
  • The various approaches to EA will be discussed including noise jamming, spot, swept, and barrage, as well as deception jamming. We will also consider various expendables, including chaff, flares, anti-radiation missiles, and decoys.
ECCM (EP).
  • For electronic protection we will look at pulse compression techniques, sidelobe blankers, low probability of intercept techniques.
EW Systems.
  • We will explore the various EW systems employed by the US and some foreign countries. This will include jammers, chaff dispensers, anti-radiation missiles, and decoys and how they are employed. We will include airborne and shipboard systems.
EW Technology.
  • We will discuss various EW technologies such as antennas, receivers, transmitters, solid state amplifier technology, matched filters, and digital processing technology.
