*IN-PERSON EVENT ONLY

The Association of Old Crows, Susquehanna Chapter invites you to an in-person lunch and learn event

Event Title - Development of Cognitive EW datasets

When: Tuesday, June 6, 2023, offered twice at either 1130 to 1300 or 1330 to 1500

Where: CACI Main Conference Room

              6240 Guardian Gateway, Aberdeen Proving Ground

RSVP by June 1 to [email protected] with the time you wish to attend

Description - In this seminar, we will review the challenges that mode-agile radar and EW threat emitters pose to traditional static threat library implementations in radar and EW systems, and assess the architecture of cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems that can be used to deliver effective RF countermeasures.

We will then discuss how MathWorks® MATLAB® can be used to create training datasets for radars, communication systems, and other RF emitters to ensure robust training of deep learning and machine learning algorithms for use in cognitive radio applications. We will demonstrate data synthesis techniques that include the effects of propagation channels, hardware impairments, and interference sources.

We will conclude with a discussion of a wideband RF record, simulation and playback system that can be used to create realistic training environments with over-the-air (OTA) measurements of those AI & ML systems running on real-world hardware.

We will also offer a repeat presentation of

Cognitive EW Systems: Addressing Mode-Agile Threat Emitters

When: Tuesday, June 6, 2023, 930 to 1100

Where: CACI Main Conference Room

              6240 Guardian Gateway, Aberdeen Proving Ground

RSVP by June 1 to [email protected]

Description - In this seminar we will review the challenges that mode-agile or WArtime Reserve Modes (WARM) RADAR and EW threat emitters pose to traditional static threat library implementations in RADAR and EW systems. We will outline and assess the architectures of cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) systems that can be used to deliver effective RF countermeasures. We will discuss how techniques can be used to train AI/ML engines and evaluate the responses and effectiveness of those countermeasures on representative RF hardware.
