Course Details
Communications EW | On-Demand Course
Course Length: 24 hours total - delivered across eight sessions of 3-hours each.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 24
Description: This introductory course in Communications Electronic Warfare covers techniques for setting up intercept and jamming links for Electronic Warfare (EW) against ground to ground and air to ground enemy communication signals, UAV command and data links and weapon control links. It starts with a discussion of the one-way communication link, then covers the important propagation modes for communication band EW, modern signal modulations, and the techniques for predicting intercept and jamming performance as a function of the tactical geometry and local terrain. It gives practical guidance in the application of the theory presented to a wide variety of EW situations.
Who Should Attend: This course is intended primarily for individuals who have a basic understanding of Electronic Warfare and are looking to learn more about the communications element of the EW field.
