Radar Identification Libraries for EW Systems
July 18 | 2 PM ET

The establishment of a Radar Recognition Library is an essential component within the domain of Electronic Warfare (EW). It serves as a comprehensive repository of data related to various radar systems; a task made challenging by the inability of radar libraries to identify emitter platforms with 100% accuracy. The scarcity of available data for Machine Learning (ML) training exacerbates this issue, as military organizations often guard radar data closely if you compare it to the abundant data available in the realm of social media or bank data. This paper outlines the critical prerequisites for creating and maintaining such a repository, which is pivotal in enabling EW practitioners to effectively identify and respond to radar-based threats.
