•Advanced Radar Threats: The series of recent upgrades to missile systems and their associated radars including Electronic Protection features.
•Advanced communications threats: The upgrades to modern command and control communications and data links that present significant electronic warfare challenges.
•Modern Electronic Attack (EA) systems and their underlying technologies, for example digital radio frequency memories.
•EA against Modern Radars including new jamming strategies and specific counters to EP features
•EW against modern communication threats: techniques for the intercept, location and jamming of new types of communications.
•Off-board Countermeasures: Decoys, expendable jammers, and flares including legacy and new generation system. Also covers deployment strategies.
