Advanced Electronic Warfare Theory and Practical Training Course

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the backbone of modern civilization enabling everyday devices such as FM car radios and cellular phones to high-end commercial such as Ku/Ka band communication satellites and military devices such as precision guided munition. This gives rise to the impetus to understand how our use of the spectrum can be disrupted and how we can protect it.

This course begins with the working principles of communication systems and signals before delving deeper into advanced topics such as advanced communication techniques, spectrum monitoring and interference hunting. To support learning, there will be hands-on sessions to expose the participants to a myriad of electromagnetic scenarios from spectrum monitoring and interference hunting to implementing electronic protection regimes on an SDR.
