The lowdown
Electronic Warfare is central to modern military operations, where control of the electromagnetic spectrum can determine detection, survivability, command-and-control, and mission success. This two-day short-course provides a high-level but operationally relevant overview of key EW disciplines, emerging threats, and mission applications across air, land, sea, space, and cyber-enabled battlespaces.
The course is on the 26-27 November 2026 and attendees can attend one or both days. The agenda includes:
Day 1
• Electronic Attack — Denying, degrading, deceiving, and disrupting adversary sensors, communications, and command-and-control links across the battlespace.
• Electronic Protection — Hardening friendly systems against jamming, spoofing, interference, exploitation, and contested-spectrum operations.
• Electronic Support — Detecting, identifying, geolocating, and characterizing emitters to build real-time situational awareness and enable kinetic and non-kinetic effects.
• ELINT — Turning adversary radar and RF signatures into actionable intelligence for threat libraries, mission planning, and survivability.
Day 2
• Stealth and Low Observability — Understanding how shaping, materials, emissions control, and tactics reduce detection, tracking, and engagement risk.
• High-Power Microwave and Nuclear EMP — Exploring directed-energy and electromagnetic-pulse effects on electronics, infrastructure, platforms, and mission resilience.
• Space, Communications, and GNSS EW — Contesting SATCOM, datalinks, PNT, and space-enabled networks through jamming, spoofing, meaconing, navigation warfare, and multi-domain spectrum effects.
• Counter-UAS EW — Detecting, tracking, identifying, and defeating drone threats through RF sensing, jamming, spoofing, and layered defense.
