AOC VIRTUAL SERIES: A New 3-Part Webinar Series – 3 Pillars of EW Begins August 21
Modern Electronic Warfare is made up of three vital components. Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Support (ES), and Electronic Protection (EP). This three-part series discusses in detail the intricacies of each "pillar" in the EW enterprise.

In most military disciplines, the terms "attack," "support" and "protect" are usually platform-centric. In U.S. doctrine, EW is unique in that these terms apply to Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) access – rather than looking at them from a platform-centric perspective.

Part 1: August 21, 1400-1500 EDT/1800-1900 GMT
This first session in the three-part series covers the importance of Electronic Attack. EA is the discipline of attacking an adversary’s access to the electromagnetic spectrum. Individual EA topics include:

RADAR Electronic Attack vs. Communications Electronic Attack
The Jamming System
Polarization
Jammer RF Spot Size
Noise vs. False Targets
Range

This second session in the three-part series covers the importance of Electronic Support. The terms Electronic Support (ES) or Electronic Support Measures (ESM) describe the division of electronic warfare involving actions taken under direct control of an operational commander to detect, intercept, identify, locate, record and/or analyze sources of radiated electromagnetic energy for the purposes of immediate threat recognition or longer-term operational planning. Thus, Electronic Support provides a source of information required for decisions involving Electronic Protection (EP), Electronic Attack (EA), avoidance, targeting, and other tactical employment of forces. This webinar will cover basic ES principles to include: ES System Components; Signal Processing; Direction Finding Techniques; GEO Location Techniques; Factors that impact ES; and ES Collection and Data Bases.

This third session in the three-part series covers the importance of Electronic Protection (EP). EP is the division of EW involving actions taken to defend access to the electromagnetic spectrum.
