Leveraging Publicly Available Information to Map and Track GNSS Interference Thursday, May 21, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT In this webinar, we examine an emerging subset of EW activity: the ability to mimic, or “spoof,” legitimate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals in order to manipulate Positioning, Navigation, and Timing data. To date, methods for detecting GNSS spoofing and other interference have been reserved for org...

The Basic Concepts of ELINT Thursday, May 7, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Modern Electronic Warfare as is commonly defined is made up of 3 key components: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Support (ES), and Electronic Protection (EP). However, Electronic Warfare heavily relies on Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) and the data it provides including radar operating parameters, waveform details, geo-location, and other pertinent information. This sessio...

Pulse compression techniques inside LPI radars: basic principles and technology trends Thursday, April 23, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Most radars, such as surveillance and target tracking radars, have to contend with very capable and advanced threats on today’s battlefields. To survive to these countermeasures and accomplish their missions, radars have to hide their emissions from hostile receivers. For this purpose, and to mask their presen...

Overview of Missile Design, Development, and System Engineering Thursday, April 9, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Missiles provide the essential accuracy and standoff range capabilities that are required in modern warfare. Technologies for missiles are rapidly emerging, resulting in the frequent introduction of new missile systems. The capability to meet the requirements for performance, cost, risk, and launch platform integration of missile systems i...

To protect the health and safety of attendees, this event has been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. 2020 Symposium Theme: Collaborative EW in support of Distributed Maritime Operations. 2020 Symposium Objective: Updates to the National Defense Strategy continue to stress requirements for warfighting systems to be more connected, jointly interoperable, rapidly deployed, and cost-effective. The success of distributed maritime operations requir...

How the West is Losing the Navigation and Timing War – And risking everything. Thursday, March 26, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT When the US and Europe abandoned robust terrestrial systems for satellites, they became vulnerable to adversaries wise enough to use both. Global Navigation Satellite Systems like America’s GPS are essential to virtually every networked technology and many others. Yet GNSS signals are very easy to jam and spoof....

RF Challenges in the Modern EW Battlespace Thursday, March 12, 2020 14:00 -15:00 EDT Understanding core attributes of RF operating bands is critical to both the EW system designer and the tactical operator. This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of the RF spectrum, highlighting the pros and cons of various frequency bands and the commensurate design and operational tradeoffs that must be made to maximize EW effectiveness.
