Electronic warfare is undergoing a fundamental transformation as adversaries adopt more agile, adaptive, and spectrum-aware systems. Traditional approaches to signal detection, classification, and jamming are being challenged by low-probability-of-intercept waveforms, cognitive radios, and increasingly congested electromagnetic environments.
This webinar will examine the next generation of EW technologies, including wideband receivers, software-defined architectures, and AI-enabled signal processing techniques. It will explore how engineers are leveraging high-speed digitization, advanced algorithms, and modular open systems approaches to improve situational awareness and response time.
The discussion also will address the integration of EW capabilities into multi-domain operations, where coordination across air, land, sea, space, and cyber domains is essential. Topics such as spectrum dominance, interoperability, and rapid reprogramming will be key areas of focus.
