Course Description: This course provides a practical introduction to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs), their missions, payloads, and data links. The main thrust of the course is to understand the traceability of mission-related performance requirements from the target, through the payloads and data links, to the operational user. The course begins a brief overview of the history of UAV development and current...

This conference will examine how systems that use the EMS can be better integrated with the combat system; more efficiently sustained and upgraded; and the strategies that provide a way ahead. Today’s EW combat systems are expensive and likely to remain in the DoD’s inventory longer as downturned budgets struggle to procure replacement systems. To ensure these systems remain effective, both performance insertion and cost reduction...

China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran have shown substantial growth in their Integrated Air Defense (IAD) and Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) programs, posing a significant threat to the air superiority long enjoyed by the US and its allies. The Association of Old Crows (AOC) and the Defense Intelligence Agency’s (DIA) Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC) come together at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama to present Performance...

The increasing prevalence of wireless internet and telecommunication networks in the operational environment has created a wide range of opportunities and vulnerabilities when EW and Cyber tactics, techniques, and procedures are used synergistically. While EW and Cyber remain distinct mission areas, the convergence of wired and wireless apertures in global information systems necessitates a better understanding of both domains for effects deli...

The face of electronic warfare is changing. ...Even becoming faceless. How do we equip the Unmanned Enterprise to succeed in Electronic Warfare? The transition to UAV/RPAs is not as simple as it sounds...EW is not a pod. All facets of DOTMLPF must be addressed; we need you there to do this right Conference Objectives The conference will address current payload and operational shortfalls and the way ahead 1. Identify capability gaps and help de...
