Course Description:

The increasing prevalence of wireless internet and telecommunication networks in the operational environment has created a wide range of opportunities and vulnerabilities when EW and Cyber tactics, techniques, and procedures are used synergistically. While EW and Cyber remain distinct mission areas, the convergence of wired and wireless apertures in global information systems necessitates a better understanding of both domains for effects delivery.  This survey course will discuss fundamental characteristics of electromagnetic energy, EW targeting principles, wireless network technology and standards, distinctions between the EMS and Cyberspace, directed energy, and the convergence of EA and cyber attack effects.

Course materials provided: Attendees receive a course notebook with hard copies of all slides and visual aids.
