Principles of Metasurface-driven Electronic Warfare Course (8 Hour Course) Dr. Rafael LicursiThis workshop provides an introduction to the use of metasurfaces in Defense, a subject explored further in the book Metasurface-driven Electronic Warfare. It covers how metasurfaces can add extra levels of dynamism to the electronic warfare (EW) problem at the physical level. Metasurfaces are artificially engineered structures that can provide arbitra...

CEMA 2025 advances last year’s narrative of “EW Overmatch” to one of “All Domain Operations” where Division commanders have multiple capabilities at their disposal to achieve shaping or decisive effects in the deep fight. It is the artful combination of human and machine integrated capabilities for crewed and uncrewed teaming and leveraging autonomous platforms and not soldiers to make first contact with the enemy...

From consumer quadcopters with Wi-Fi links to military UAS with sophisticated control and payload channels, the modern RF environment is saturated with signatures that can be exploited for detection and tracking. In this landscape, passive techniques are no longer optional; they are becoming essential for counter-UAS and broader spectrum operations. This webinar will examine the application of Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Di...

This webinar explores Integrated Solutions for Systems’ (IS4S), and their partner Virginia Tech National Security Institute (VTNSI), modular approach to Radiofrequency Machine Learning. New adversarial capabilities, including adaptive and emerging threats, pose a challenge to traditional techniques for signal identification and response. Unlike traditional classification problems used by ML (computer vision, text, audio, etc.), an RF sys...

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of Russian Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems, aimed at providing a solid foundational understanding of their capabilities, organization, and tactical roles. This class is designed for pilots, UAS operators, and mission planners employing aviation assets into a radar threat environment. The course covers the following topics:Overview of Russian SAM systems and their context within the order...

To provide a comprehensive technical review of modern adversary surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems and air defense directed energy weapons (DEW) including capabilities, concepts of operation, electronic protection features, recent developments, and near-term projections. Attendance at this event is appropriate for those involved in the design, development, testing, evaluation and employment of electronic warfare systems, techniques, and tact...

Fast tuning and low phase noise are typically opposing specifications for synthesizers. In this talk we will discuss modern synthesizers and how the tuning speed and phase noise coupling has been broken enabling both low phase noise and fast switching as attributes of the same synthesizer. We will discuss construction of small form factor, fast switching, low phase noise synthesizers.
