The Basics of Electronic Warfare Jamming & Deception
June 3, 2022Long gone are the days when battles were fought solely by air, land, and sea. The technological advancements made within the last century have resulted in modern conflicts waged in all possible dimensions, including the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). Today, most military operations depend on utilizing the EMS for communication, situational awareness, and offensive/defensive missions. But […]
Anti-Drone Technology: 6 Effectors for Counter-UAS Missions
Unmanned aerial vehicles have a long history of military use. In fact, UAVs originally were developed in the mid-1800s strictly for military purposes, and they have evolved significantly since then. Although UAVs are not a new threat to warfighters, the attainability and affordability of commercial drones have made them far more common, increasing their associated […]
Solid-State vs. Magnetron Radar
April 29, 2022Many different types of radar have been used in military operations over the last century. But in today’s tactical radar market, solid-state radar is the standard. However, before the invention of broadband technology, the original compact combat radars were powered by a magnetron. While magnetron radar is virtually obsolete nowadays, it played a critical […]
Micro-UAVs & Detection Methods
April 21, 2022Unmanned/uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become a prominent threat to warfighters over the past decade—and they’re becoming increasingly dangerous with time. UAVs are the main component of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which also include an operator and communication system for synchronization. Although they can be flown manually, most UAVs are controlled […]
4D AESA Radar Performance Considerations for the Counter Swarm (C-Swarm)
November 22, 2021By Dr. Arik D. Brown Counter unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) mission capability protects maneuver forces globally. It provides crucial situational awareness and neutralization against unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to maintain airspace advantage. The proliferation of UAS and their suitability for nefarious intentions has made them a high priority focus area for both commercial and DoD […]
