Fundamental Principles of Electronic Warfare | On-Demand Course
Course Length: 24 hours total - delivered across eight sessions of 3-hours each.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 24
Description: This is an introductory Electronic Warfare course in eight three hour sessions. It provides insight into the whole electronic warfare field at the systems and operational level. It uses little math beyond algebra, yet the sources of important propagation and jamming equations are made amply clear. New threats and EW techniques are covered at an unclassified level. The course avoids deep mathematical coverage, explaining all concepts in practical, physical terms. Each of the sessions includes lecture and in-class problems. Although each session stands alone, the set of eight provides the full introduction to the EW field.
Who Should Attend: This course is intended primarily for individuals who have no prior knowledge of the EW field! It provides insight into the whole electronic warfare field at the systems and operational level. It uses little math beyond algebra, yet the sources of important propagation and jamming equations are made amply clear.
