Electronic Warfare

Research Efforts provide Navy and Marine Corps with:

• Improved threat warning systems
• Electronic warfare support (ES)
• Decoys and countermeasures against weapon tracking and guidance systems
• Electronic attack (EA) against adversary command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR)
• Electronic protection (EP) of our own weapons and C4ISR from intentional and unintentional interference

• Compact, efficient, multi-spectral EO/IR sources and systems, with a focus on reduced size, weight, power and cost of steering technology including non-mechanical beam steering.
• Compact and efficient EW antennas covering HF to VHF (3-300 MHz), with a focus on technologies that reduce the size and weight constraints of current antenna systems.
• W-band millimeter wave high-power transmitters - develop technology to deny or deceive sensors or weapons guidance systems operating in the millimeter wave band.
• Counter intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). Explore truly innovative EW concepts which can counter emerging ISR sensor threats.
• Advanced signal processing circuits and algorithms to address complex emitters with reduced size, weight and power over conventional computational approaches.
