Tutorial 1: Introduction to Electronic Warfare
Learn the technologies and algorithms behind the electronic warfare systems protecting assets, territories, and human lives. Electronic Warfare (EW) can be essentially divided in three categories: Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Support (ES), and Electronic Protection (EP). EW is a large field spanning different domains, such as radar, communications, EO/IR, and cyber. This tutorial will focus on EA and EP techniques applicable to radar systems, with a quick overview of IADS, surface-to-air missiles, and fire control systems. Topics in EA include jamming techniques, jamming equations, anti-radiation missiles, DRFM, and SAR/ISAR jamming. Topics in EP are divided according to the radar subsystem engaged in the protection, such as transmitter, antennas, receiver, and signal processing, including techniques countering pull-offs and deceptions. This tutorial will be conducted at an unclassified level.
Biography:
Dr. Lo Monte has wide-ranging experience in applied Radar, RF, DSP, EW system design and prototyping, from small companies, consulting, academia, research institutions, to large defense contractors and government agencies worldwide. He serves as Chief Scientist at Telephonics, a top-100 defense corporation specializing in ISR, with the role of translating research innovations into commercial products. Prior to that, he was a Professor at the University of Dayton, and the Executive Director of the Mumma Radar Laboratory. Dr. Lo Monte has published over 70 peer-reviewed journal papers, conference proceedings, book chapters, and patents.
Throughout his career, he gained experience in HF-to-W Band radar systems prototyping, including AESAs, ASW ASuW radars, AEW radars, multistatic and MIMO radar, SAR/ISAR and tomography, GPR, passive HF/VHF/UHF systems, IED/EFP detection, ballistic missile defense radar, resonance exploitation, RF/IR integration, DRFM, EA/EP/ES, AMTI/GMTI/MMTI/DMTI, clutter modeling, antenna/microwave design and measurements, instrumentation control, computational electromagnetics, inverse scattering, DSP, electrical/mechanical CAD design.
Dr. Lo Monte is very active in the IEEE community, serving in the AESS Board of Governors as the VP for Education, and in the Region 1 (Northeast USA) as VP for Industry. Dr. Lo Monte is also an AESS Distinguished Lecturer and an approved AESS Short Course Instructor. He taught many short courses in radar, EW and RF worldwide, including at AFRL, NASIC, AFLCMC, MIT, Fraunhofer Institute and DSTO.

Tutorial 2: Electronic Support, ELINT and Radar Reverse Engineering
This tutorial continues the EW discussion by exploring its intelligence aspect, with a focus on radar systems. The tutorial begins with the CONOPS, theories and techniques used in electronic support missions, with an emphasis on radar warning receivers. This includes an overview of signal detection and estimation, signal identification, and direction finding. Next, the course explores concepts and techniques used in electronic intelligence, in particular signal processing and the time/frequency analysis. The final part of the tutorial will focus on determining RF/hardware properties using remotely collected data, such as signals and images. Using both signal and hardware clues, the intelligence analyst will be able to identify the capabilities and performance of a radar. This tutorial will be conducted at an unclassified level.
Agenda
This workshop comprises two one-day tutorials on electronic warfare. The first day tutorial covers electronic attack and electronic protection. The second day tutorial covers electronic support, ELINT and radar reverse engineering. The workshop is conducted at an unclassified level.
There is a fee associated with this workshop (discounted for IEEE members and students).
