Radar

In this webinar, The MathWorks and Rohde & Schwarz will review the challenges that mode-agile RADAR and EW threat emitters pose to traditional static threat library implementations in RADAR and EW systems, and assess the architecture of cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems that can be used to deliver effective RF countermeasures. We will discuss how a robust toolchain based on the MathWorks® Matlab® can be used to create rich and complex training datasets to ensure optimal training of IA and ML algorithms. We will conclude with a discussion of a wideband RF record, simulation and playback system that can be used to create realistic training environments with Over The Air (OTA) measurements of those AI & ML systems running on real-world hardware.

In this webinar, you will learn how to/ more about:

• Development of cognitive EW datasets 
• Toolset to create realistic threat datasets
• Data preparation, AI modeling, simulation and test 
• Deployment of datasets to the system

Electronic Warfare (EW) is activity in the electromagnetic spectrum to impede the hostile activities of an enemy and is a vital and proven capability for operating successfully in complex, contested environments. In the Space domain, EW has the potential to be a game changer in that it may be able to negate hostile activities without  generating additional Space debris, which is already an issue of major concern with a negative impact on safety in Space.
In this session we will provide an overview of Electronic Warfare in Space and introduce useful technologies that can be applied to Space EW. 

In this webinar, you will learn about:

• Electronic Warfare (EW) in Space, and the Space domain ecosystem.
• Military uses of the electromagnetic spectrum.
• Basis of offensive, defensive and cyber operations relating to space EW.
• Link budgeting, communications monitoring, signal analysis, interference hunting.
• High-bandwidth recording to capture long term events.
