Mastering the EM Spectrum: EW and Radar Challenges

Electromagnetic spectrum operations, or EMSO, are rapidly evolving due to the following: the commoditization of technologies that can be used to create threats; the rise of digital and programmable radio-frequency (RF) equipment; and rapidly changing waveforms. These elements impact and challenge today’s electronic-warfare (EW) and radar systems.In this episode, Nancy and Greg are joined by Chris Johnston, Director of Radar & Electronic Warfare Solutions at Keysight Technologies, to discuss exactly what it takes to understand and thrive in the field.Join us as we discuss:The importance of having a deep understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and the lexicon used in military operationsThe role of technology advancements and innovation in radar and EWHow software is vital to enabling new capabilitiesLinks to resources discussed in this episode:eBook: Engineering for Advanced Radar and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations White Paper: Sophisticated Threats Raise Stakes in Electronic Warfare ConflictsWhite Paper: Detect and Analyze Electronic Countermeasures in Dense Signal Environments
