From 1982 to 1993 he worked in DSTO in the area of Microwave Radar developing signal processing hardware and software and was the System Architect and Project Leader for the Australian project which successfully designed\, built and demonstrated a high-resolution airborne imaging radar known as the AuSAR radar. This was followed by an 18-month p eriod working with the Canadian Defence R&D Center in Ottawa researching t he radar characteristics of sea clutter and\, after returning to Australia \, he established a group developing models for predicting the detection p erformance of maritime surveillance radars operating in various sea clutte r states. In 1999 he was promoted to the position of Head\, ES Systems Gro up within the Electronic Warfare Division of DST Group where he led a grou p responsible for performing R&D into Electronic Support Systems technolog y including the hardware\, software\, algorithms and control of Radar Warn ing Receivers\, ES systems and ELINT systems.\n\nIn 2005\, after a 2 posti ng to the US in the role of Mission Systems S&T Advisor for the Australian JSF project office\, he was promoted into the position of Research Leader \, EW Systems Integration where he led a branch of between 40-50 researche rs performing R&D into radar and communication EW systems and Electromagne tic Battle Management. Key areas of technology being progressed within thi s branch include distributed EW\, single and multi-ship emitter geolocatio n techniques\, DRFM based Electronic Attack technology development\, high fidelity and force level modelling and simulation tool development and Pos ition\, Navigation & Timing R&D including Global Navigation Satellite Syst em (GNSS) countermeasure and EP development. In July 2014 he transferred i nto the position of Program Leader\, Combined Arms Fighting Systems Integr ation where he developed a DSTO wide program of work supporting the modern isation of the Australian Army with a focus on systems of systems integrat ion. Focus areas in this role included vehicle and force level architectur es\, active self-protection systems and land based Electronic Warfare. In this role he was also responsible for managing a number of international e ngagements including the CLASP program with the UK and the TORVICE program with the US. In late 2017 he took on the role of Program Leader High Spee d Weapons responsible for establishing a long S&T program covering a range of high-speed weapon related technologies.\n\nAfter leaving DST in early 2019\, he has worked in Industry providing subject matter expertise in the areas of EW\, M&S and software defined radio technology and is currently a Principal Consultant for Southtome Pty Ltd.\n\nAdelaide\, South Australi a\, Australia LOCATION:Adelaide\, South Australia\, Australia ORGANIZER:waashwal@ieee.org SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:IEEE SA CAES Seminar - Next Generation RF Systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/237765 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Dear IEEE members and invited guests</p>\n <p>The next IEEE Control\, Aerospace and Electronic Systems (CAES) seminar will be on Monday September 7th\, 2020 at 7:30pm (Adelaide time).</p>\n<p >The speaker is Mr Brian Reid from the a Principal Consultant for Southtom e Pty Ltd. and they will be presenting a seminar on:</p>\n<p><strong>Next </strong><strong>G</strong><strong>eneration RF </strong><strong>S</strong ><strong>ystems</strong></p>\n<p>Please aim to join the WebEx meeting befo re hand\, so we can start on time.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><a style="color: #049fd9 \; text-decoration-line: none\;" href="https://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieee meetings/onstage/g.php?MTID=e5b4f4280fd46a177d258aebba8c57d71" target="_bl ank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=htt ps://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemeetings/onstage/g.php?MTID%3De5b4f4280fd4 6a177d258aebba8c57d71&amp\;source=gmail&amp\;ust=1597786917189000&amp\;usg =AFQjCNGkuIwE68OvpEUpaub-7j2j94ecVg">https://<wbr />ieeemeetings.webex.com /<wbr />ieeemeetings/onstage/g.php?<wbr />MTID=<wbr />e5b4f4280fd46a177d25 8aebba8c57<wbr />d71</a></p>\n<p>Event number (access code): 130 798 0452< /p>\n<p>Also\, please check out the new IEEE SA Section website:&nbsp\;<a href="https://r10.ieee.org/saus/">https://r10.ieee.org/saus/</a></p>\n<p>R egards</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Waddah Al-Ashwal</p>\n<p>IEEE SA CAES Chapt er Vice Chair</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Next </stron g><strong>G</strong><strong>eneration RF </strong><strong>S</strong><stron g>ystems</strong></p>\n<p>Every major advance in platform or weapons techn ology over the last 10-20 years has been underpinned by an increasing depe ndence of these systems on using the EM spectrum for situational awareness \, targeting\, communicating/networking and navigation.
