In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the Electromagnetic Spectrum forms the backbone of modern communications across civilian and military sectors. It is essential to understand the threats posed by Electronic Attack (EA) systems that are designed to exploit vulnerabilities of these communication systems to disrupt and degrade critical operations.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of Electronic Warfare (EW), focusing on Electronic Attack (EA) system. Participants will gain insights into the working principles of jammer systems, their operating considerations, and their impact on various communication technologies, including drones, 4G/5G cellular networks, and GNSS signals.

The curriculum incorporates interactive hands-on sessions and demonstrations to reinforce learning and familiarize participants with a variety of jamming scenarios and techniques using an advanced EA system.

For registration or additional information, please reach out to rickie.chew@rohde-schwarz.com.

We look forward to seeing you there!
