Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) Thursday, October 8, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT SEI is the process of uniquely identifying an individual transmitter from the signal received by a receiver system. Unlike digital identification, where identification signals can be perfectly reproduced, SEI uses the analogue signal characteristics of the signal to generate a unique fingerprint which can be associated with each transmitter, with the result that...

Objective: The one-day virtual event will provide attendees an update on EW emerging requirements, policy, Science & Technology (S&T) initiatives, programs, leadership perspective, and operational feedback from the field. Conference Theme: Cutting Edge CEMA capabilities to Counter Near Peer Competition in the Information Environment Sessions: Session 1 | Emerging Technologies & Trends Session 2 | Innovation and Critical Capabilitie...

Convergence of TDOA/AOA in Operational Environments Thursday, September 24, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT This webinar will discuss the two primary methods of direction finding: time difference of arrival (TDOA) and angle of arrival (AOA). An overview the requirements and benefits/limitations of each will be presented. The architecture of hybrid geolocation techniques will also be discussed in operational environments.

High Resolution Direction Finding Thursday, August 20, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Electronic Warfare (EW) systems commonly use techniques such as phase difference of arrival, amplitude comparison, and time difference of arrival to determine the angle of arrival of a signal. However, modern signal processing theory has developed a series of techniques for estimating the angle of arrival with a much higher resolution. The goal of this webinar is to...

The Lost Art of HF: The Rebirth of Shortwave in a Digital World Thursday, August 6, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Much of the pioneering work in radio technology was done at "high frequency," and generations of RF engineers, radio operators, and SIGINT specialists cut their teeth on shortwave. But is there still room for HF in the digital world of cellular, satellites, wi-fi, and microwave? This webinar explains why the "lost art" of HF is not only s...

EW System Development: Critical Thinking in Design Tradeoffs Thursday, July 23, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT EW system development is far from immune to the impacts of requirements creep on overall program success. Keeping such add-on requirements from becoming an anchor on delivery timeframes and costs is a constant battle that requires smart tradeoffs at almost every step of the design process. This webinar will present several notional examples o...

Denial & Deception: Getting back to SIGINT’s roots Thursday, July 9, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Signals Intelligence has focused in recent years on counterinsurgency (COIN) operations where enemy capabilities are often much lower than our own. However, sophisticated near-peer adversaries have far better training and technology to exploit gaps in friendly capabilities. As signals intelligence transitions back from COIN to direct action sc...

The Fundamentals of Electro-Optical/Infrared Sensor Engineering Thursday, June 18, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT This webinar will present the fundamentals of electro-optical (EO) & infrared (IR) sensor technology, its analysis and its application to military search, track and imaging systems. Electronic warfare (electronic attack and electronic protection) are emphasized. It will cover the various classes of targets and their optical radiation c...

Deep Learning and Waveform Classification Thursday, June 4, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT In the last few years machine learning has been transformed by the advent of Deep Learning, particularly in the area of classification. While these new deeply layered neural networks have revolutionized the commercial market, their application in Electronic Warfare (EW) has been limited. The goal of this webinar is to educate the audience in the field of deep le...
