Modern military uses of antennas have presented new challenges to the antenna designer. Only a decade ago, specific band antennas, or tall whips, met the needs of most communications, electronic warfare (EW) and surveillance applications. But with new needs and transceiver technologies, antennas have new challenges: wideband; small; and agile platforms, for software-defined radio (SDR) and mode...

The presence of a significant number strike systems high-precision weapons at the enemy causes an urgent need to create effective for protection infrastructural and military facilities. One elements such can be forces means radio-electronic warfare, which will allow carry out protective actions in electromagnetic spectrum. But current conditions resource time limitations, involvement electronic...

The advent of digital information technology heralded the concept of information warfare. This ‘preliminary’ stage in the 1990s really consisted of technology warfare where the networks, upon which combat relied, were seen as weapons to gain ‘information superiority’. This was the inception of the technological aspect of Information Warfare. The realisation of ...

In recent years, precision electronic warfare (PREW), an energy-focussed delivery technology, has been used to solve a series of problems that currently limit traditional warfare. A super-sparse array transmitters is concentrate the jamming energy as much possible in target area and reduce other specific protected areas. However, determining how design waveforms with characteristics, such cover...

With the increased potential of a bona fide cyber terrorist attack and the possibility of a future “war in the wires”, we must continue to improve the education and training of individuals responsible for defending our national borders—whether those borders are physical or electronic. The Information Analysis and Research (IWAR) laboratory at the United States Military Academy (USMA) has proven...
