Mastering the EM Spectrum: EW and Radar Challenges

Electromagnetic spectrum operations, or EMSO, are rapidly evolving due to the following: the commoditization of technologies that can be used to create threats; the rise of digital and programmable radio-frequency (RF) equipment; and rapidly changing waveforms. These elements impact and challenge today’s electronic-warfare (EW) and radar systems.

In this episode, Nancy and Greg are joined by Chris Johnston, Director of Radar & Electronic Warfare Solutions at Keysight Technologies, to discuss exactly what it takes to understand and thrive in the field.

Join us as we discuss:

• The importance of having a deep understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum and the lexicon used in military operations
• The role of technology advancements and innovation in radar and EW
• How software is vital to enabling new capabilities
