Drones, Electronic Warfare, and Advanced Sensor Integration

Advanced remotely-piloted vehicles (RPV) and other autonomous systems are becoming the norm in the military and aerospace sector, and a key aspect of challenging application spaces like electronic warfare (EW). These smart vehicles can employ a variety of electronic countermeasures, in addition to implementing their own jamming, intercept, and other EW attacks.

Developing drones, RPVs, and other autonomous platforms present a web of mission requirements, complicated by government-related compliance and regulatory issues. Proper consideration of the design and development landscape, and the available tools, technologies, and processes, will go far towards ensuring a successful result.

This webinar will explore the latest intelligent autonomous platforms, and how they play in the electronic warfare arena, along with how these systems are being deployed and implemented. The webinar will also cover the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA), which addresses device integration, to allow electronic platforms to be used across a wide range of vehicles and applications. 

Points covered will include, but are not restricted to:

• Addressing military applications and design issues
• Issues in developing Drone and RPV systems
• Considerations in creating  Electronic Warfare solutions
• Leveraging the Sensor Open Systems Architecture
• Test and Measurement solutions for serving military and aerospace systems
