Radar Fundamentals

Radar Operation is both Simple and Complex. As an Electronic Warfare Officer knowing how Radio Waves Propagate and how Threats or Victims Utilize them will Allow for you to Capitalize on their Weaknesses.The major Targets in Electronic Warfare are: Communications & Control (C2). RADAR being the Eyes.With a thorough understanding of RADAR you will learn other Electronic Basics apply to other disciplines of EW, such as Communication Jamming.Radar Fundamentals-Navy Post Grad School

Electronic Attack (EA)

EA is the Offensive side of EW. All Commanders and Operators must consider this means of Fires (Non-Kinetic) and use it as a Force-Multiplier.

Low Observables (LO)

LO also Known as Stealth, is simply the control of a Vehicles Radar Cross Section (θ in the Radar Range Equation). The control is Completed through: Shaping and Material. Then the Vehicle Manages its Routing in The Electromagnetic Environment to minimize detection or Exploit Weaknesses of the IADS.Note: RCS is an Expression of the Reflected Signal of an Object (θ) to the Radar Receiver(s). Measured in Square Meters or Dbm.
