Course structure
One course per year; Course duration 5 days. An hour will be given at the end of each day for a group study project, the results of which will be presented to the class on the final day.What you will learn
You will be taught the concepts of sensitivity, resolution, and discrimination to establish the capabilities and applications of radar-signal intercept, and how to minimize the risk of intercept using low probability of intercept waveforms.
The course will also outline the various electronic attack and associated defence measures applicable to modern radar systems. By the end of the course the student will be able to identify the role and quantify the performance of a modern radar system, and select and assess appropriate electronic defence measures against specified threats for a given operational specification.
