John Haystead
For a variety of reasons, including advanced IR

threats, fighter aircraft users are expected to show a
new interest in missile warning systems over the next
several years. At the same time, the EW solution may
involve more than simple missile warning systems. JED
takes a look at whats on the horizon in missile warning
for fighter aircraft.

his months JED features an excellent article about missile warning for
fighter aircraft, written by John Haystead. When I think back to the mid1990s, I remember how certain the EW community was at the time about
the need to put missile warning on fast jets. There was good reason for
this. During the 1991 Gulf War, infrared (IR) missiles were the deadliest
threat to coalition aircraft in that conflict, and this needed to be addressed. Airto-air threats were always a worry during the Cold War, but the most significant IR
threat during the Gulf War was from ground-based systems, as strike aircraft had
to routinely drop into the MANPADS threat envelope below 15,000 feet in order to
perform targeting and weapons release. By 1995, the US had started Engineering
and Manufacturing Development of the AAR-57 Common Missile Warning System
(CMWS), a joint-Service passive missile warning system that was slated for use on
most of the DODs fast jets, as well as its helicopters.
However, the air-to-air threat did not evolve much after the Cold War ended, as
few countries opted to challenge US air power. In addition, US strike aircraft were
able to leverage progress in stand-off targeting systems, such as the Litening and
Sniper pods, as well as GPS-guided munitions, which enabled strike aircraft to fly
their missions above 15,000 feet. Other countries followed suit and the demand for
missile warning on fast jets cooled significantly. These developments led the Air
Force and the Navy to drop out of the CMWS program before it reached production.
In the 2000s, despite the wide use of air power in the Global War on Terror, missile warning remained a low priority (as did most EW requirements) for fast jets.
Except for the initial weeks of the combat operations, coalition strike aircraft enjoyed fairly permissive threat environments above 15,000 feet in Afghanistan and
Iraq. This is not unique to Afghanistan and Iraq. Israel has seen the same trend in
its operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Today, we are entering an era in which the air-to-air threat is beginning to
drive the fast jet missile warning discussion again. However, this missile warning
conversation is not picking up where it left off in the mid-1990s. Today, we are
talking about how to fuse missile warning with other sensor inputs, such as AESA
radar, IR search and track (IRST) and electronic support measures (ESM), and presenting this fused situational awareness picture to the pilot in the cockpit. Were
also seeing wider use of IR sensors, which typically perform better than UV sensors
at higher altitudes, in missile warning systems.
With this degree of sensor fusion, it is only a matter of time before we see
fighter/strike aircraft that feature 360-degree coverage from radar and IRST sensors, in addition to ESM and passive missile warning. Were not there yet. But it is
amazing how far we have come in 20 years. J. Knowles

RESPONSIBILITIES

here is probably no greater responsibility in the International AOC than

the opportunity to vote for your desired candidate. The Board of Directors
(BOD) is the governing body of the International AOC and is composed of
the President, Directors, President Elect and the Immediate Past President
(Invited). However, for the past several elections our voter turnout has
been disproportionately low hovering around 10 percent of our entire
13,000 members. This low percentage challenges the core concept of the International
AOC BOD being a Representational Governance body. In many cases, we have only
one candidate running for an elected office, which compromises the value of differing
points of views and opinions. I know many of our members feel strongly about our strategy and the direction of the International AOC. They have legitimate concerns both
from a budget perspective, as well as a mission solution approach. These concerns will
not be heard or vetted if those who hold these views do not vote or actively participate.
There is probably no mission area receiving more focus right now than Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare. If you doubt this, see the recent press releases on the creation
of the Pentagons Senior EW Council. Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare is a Navy-led
effort to create a deliberate approach to operate and succeed in what the CNO, ADM
Jonathan Greenert, has described at the Electromagnetic (EM)-cyber environment.
This environment will be contested, congested and competitive. Not only do we need
to reduce our vulnerabilities in various selected areas of the EM-cyber Environment,
we need to address how we will maintain our technical and operational leadership in
this critical warfighting mission space. We need International AOC leaders who can articulate the EW-related issues, understand the consequences of inaction and can help
shape value-added decisions in support of our warfighters.
Our International AOC mission is straightforward: we educate, we support and we
advocate. We have expanded our focus to advance not only the EW profession but also
the entire Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) community. EW is a critical
element of National security and deserves our best efforts. Your vote this cycle will
install a two-year tenured International AOC President who will help guide and articulate the strategic focus of integrating cyber elements into our traditional EW and
broader IO mission responsibilities. The opportunity of members to directly elect their
President is not shared by members of all associations, and is part of what makes the
International AOC special.
The electromagnetic spectrum will be dominated by those who understand how the
various elements of evolving spectrum activities can enhance our operations and degrade those of our adversaries. Your vote matters and ensures we have the right leaders to make things happen, to work cooperatively, and to advance the interests of our
members, chapters and partners in the military, government, industry and academia.
Thank you for voting. Maj Gen Kenneth Israel, USAF (Ret.)

HASC REPORT ON 2016 DOD BUDGET
RECOGNIZES CRITICAL IMPORTANCE
OF ELECTRONIC WARFARE
These included restoring $28.7 million to

the Air Forces EC130H Compass Call,
EW aircraft modification program, in
recognition of the unique electronic
warfare capabilities provided by this
aircraft, and an additional $50 million
to conduct integration and testing for
an F16 AESA radar upgrade, an effort
that had previously been cancelled, and
which had also included major associated upgrades to the F-16s EW suite.
The committee notes that, despite the
termination of the F-16 Combat Avionics
Programmed Extension Suite (CAPES),
the Department of the Air Force is considering a new effort to upgrade F16
radars from the current APG68 system
to a modern AESA radar system ...and,
accordingly, encourages the Department
of the Air Force to budget for development and procurement of this upgrade
in the Future Years Defense Program.
Reflecting even more detailed attention, the Committee called out the fact
that the Navys FY2016 budget request
for the Next Generation Jammer (NGC)
program did not include funds for the
low-band transmitter consolidation
Engineering Change Proposal (ECP). The
committee notes that the Increment 2
(Inc 2) element of the NGJ program,
which addresses low band jammer issues,
is planned to begin fielding later, in
2026, and that, as a result, the current
ALQ-99 low band transmitters will be
required in the interim... Therefore, the
committee recommends $37.2 million,
an increase of $15.0 million, for the low
band transmitter consolidation ECP. The
Committee expects that these funds
would be used for production and fielding of low band transmitter consolidation
ECP installations.
Knowledge of, and attention to, electromagnetic spectrum technology and
requirements was not limited to the RF
and microwave portions of the spectrum. For example, the committee also
stated its belief that the Air Force should
consider, as part of the requirements for

the Next Generation Joint Surveillance
Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS), an
integrated electro-optical/infrared (EO/
IR) search capability. The committee
notes that EO/IR capability is already in
very high demand and that adding this
capability to Next Generation JSTARS may
enable the platform to provide additional
intelligence support capability. The committee directed the Secretary of the Air
Force to provide a briefing to the HASC
by March 1, 2016, on the potential utility
of an integrated EO/IR capability on Next
Generation JSTARS aircraft.
And, on a fiscally cautious note, but
also reflecting the Committees level of
attention on the technology, the HASC
also observed that both the Air Force
and Navy are developing new IRST capabilities for their F-15 and F/A-18 aircraft,
respectively. It required the Secretary
of Defense to submit a report by March
1, 2016 comparing the requirements of
the two efforts and explain any need for
the Navy and Air Force to field different
IRST systems.
In other EW funding, all of the Armys
EW equipment procurement requests
were fully funded, including $2.96 million for CREW, $2.6 million for the EW
Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT)
program, $13.7 million for the Armys
EMARSS and $56.2 million for Aircraft
Survivability Equipment (ASE). Funding
for the Common Missile Warning System
(CMWS) received an increase of $26 million to meet an unfunded requirement
for Apache Survivability Enhancements.
The Navy received an additional $28
million to meet an unfunded requirement for two SEWIP Block II systems. The
Marine Corps MAGTF EW for aviation budget request of $7.7 million was also fully
funded. The Air Forces Large Aircraft IR
Countermeasures (LAIRCM) procurement
was also fully funded at $84.3 million.
EW RDT&E funding also did well in
the HASC bill, including an additional
EW technology and programs received

significant attention and support in the
House of Representatives version of the
National Defense Authorization Act (H.R.
1735), which was passed on the House
floor as this issue of JED went to press. In
the committee report accompanying the
bill, the House Armed Services Committee
(HASC) expressed its strong endorsement
of the recent establishment of the EW
Executive Committee (EXCOM) by the
Deputy Secretary of Defense with an initial focus on EW strategy, acquisition,
operational support and security. The
committee commends the Department of
Defense for making such a strong move to
improve oversight of all EW activities, and
looks forward to hearing more from the
Department about how it will operate and
key recommendations it plans to make.
The committee also noted its recognition of the importance of EW in countering specific, growing threat areas, such as
that posed by unmanned aerial systems
to US and coalition forces. For example,
it highlighted the Army EW Divisions
efforts to develop technology that
can recognize and disrupt the uplinks
between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
and their ground-based controllers. The
committee encourages the Army to continue its research into severing these
control signals.
The HASC report also listed EW as one
of the key elements to be considered in
the DODs approach to providing a robust
approach to passive defense both left and
right of enemy launch for Integrated Air
and Missile Defense (IAMD), as identified
by the Joint Chiefs of Staffs Vision 2020
study released in December of last year.
In addition to general statements
in support of EW, the Committee also
took strong and specific measures in key
funding areas of importance to EW priorities, including unfunded requirements.

NEW RWR FOR ITALYS NH90 HELOS MOVING FORWARD
20
Elettronica Group (Rome, Italy) is

progressing according to plans in a
15-month program to integrate, test
and qualify its lightweight and compact ELT/160 Radar Warning Receiver
(RWR) for the NHIndustries (Aix en
Provence, France) NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopters (TTHs) in service with
Italys armed forces. The requirement
for an advanced lightweight RWR was
launched after the Libyan crisis operations, where the proliferation of modern
RF-guided Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM)
systems and todays electromagnetically
dense operational scenarios, characterized by advanced emitters being used
by both friendly and hostile platforms,
highlighted the urgent need for timely
and more reliable threat awareness. Following a thorough assessment in simulated operational scenarios, the NATO
Helicopter Management Agency (NAHEMA) awarded Elettronica the (undisclosed-value) contract last October on
behalf of the Italian MoD.
Acting as the EW suite controller,
the ELT/160 is integrated with the Airbus Defence & Space MILDS AAR 60 missile warner, Selex ES RALM-01/V2 laser
warning receiver and MBDA ELIPS-NH
chaff and flare dispenser. The contract includes the development and
evaluation of a pre-series production
system with a first batch production
contract planned for the beginning
of 2016. Among the requirements, the
systems Line Replaceable Units (LRUs)
are subject to mechanical repackaging
to ensure the complete form, fit and
function replacement of the platforms
existing equipment. The system is to be
installed on board new and in-service
helicopters through a phased retrofit
program. In total, the Italian MoD is

expected to buy up to 70 systems for
both its Army and Navys TTH versions.
The ELT/160 is characterized by a
lightweight design with four Direction
Finding (DF) antenna units together
with one integrated receiver and an additional processing unit to serve as an
EW controller. The system has wideband
RF coverage (E to K) and is capable of
real-time de-interleaving, sorting, analysis, tracking and recording of known

and unknown emissions (even those
emissions not pre-loaded in the library),
high speed threat identification, and
full digital processing of intercepted
signals. In addition to the Italian armed
forces, the ELT/160s capabilities have
attracted the interest of other NH90 operators. L. Peruzzi

From Day 1, there have been two sides to the story. One is
the work we do, creating leading-edge instrumentation and
software. The other is the work you do: designing, developing,
debugging, troubleshooting, manufacturing, testing, installing
and maintaining components, devices and systems.
Those seemingly unrelated activities are actually connected by
something profound: the A-ha! that comes with a moment of
insight. When those happen for us, the results are innovations
that help you reach new breakthroughs.
Enabling the right idea at the right time
This is our legacy. Keysight is a company built on a history
of firsts, dating back to the days when Bill Hewlett and Dave
Packard worked in the garage at 367 Addison Avenue in Palo Alto,
California. Our firsts began with U.S. patent number 2,268,872
for a variable-frequency oscillation generator. Appropriately,
the heart of Bills design was a light bulb, which is often used to
symbolize a new idea.
Our future depends on your success, and our vision is simple: by
helping engineers find the right idea at the right time, we enable them
to bring next-generation technologies to their customersfaster.

leadership interview
Rick Yuse
Throughout Rick Yuses 39-year career at Raytheon, he has been at the cutting edge of technology and innovation, from the first electronically scanned phased array radars used to monitor Russian ICBM launches to revolutionary developments in electronic and information
warfare today.
After earning his Masters in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University in 1976, Yuse joined Raytheon and spent his early career
working on virtually every radar program forming the backbone of the US missile defense system, thanks to assignments and promotions
at Raytheons Equipment Division, Integrated Defense Systems and Technical Services Company.
Since 2010, when he stepped up to lead Space and Airborne Systems (SAS), the business has successfully built upon its strength in airborne radars for fighter aircraft, ISR platforms and tactical and space-based communications. He also has presided over the companys
resurgence as a leader in the EW market, winning contracts for the US Navys Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) and the US Armys EW
Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT).
JED spoke with him about his experience and more specifically, the companys approach to the EW market.
JED:
What was the most important lesson that you

learned as an engineer in your early years at Raytheon?
RY: Im not sure I appreciated it at the time, but as I look
back on the skills and practices that were ingrained in me

by mentors and supervisors, I think the most valuable lessons were to be curious, engaged and demonstrate a willingness to dive in and work hard. I also learned about the
importance of developing critical thinking skills. You have
to look at all aspects of a situation and account for all consequences, especially those that are unintended.
22
JED: When you took the helm at SAS in 2010, what were
some of the major management and technology development goals that you set out to achieve?
RY: When I arrived at SAS, I found a solid business

with great legacy programs in airborne radar, EO/
IR and space. So I wanted to ensure that the
company continued to focus on capabilities
that would keep us ahead of future threats.
Our technology development strategy focused
on four areas: electronic warfare; high energy
lasers; high integrity processors to embed cyber security in weapon systems; and open,
scalable, multi-function architectures for future weapon systems. We have made significant progress on all fronts.
In EW, for instance, we wanted to become
a significant player because we believed that
fielded capabilities, which relied on older tube
and horn technology, would be inadequate to control the electromagnetic spectrum in what was
then generally called contested environments and
today is called anti-access/area denial (A2/AD)
environments. We need to put the magic back in
the hands of our warfighters.
As a result, we made investments in electronic
attack, electronic support, electronic protection,
signals intelligence (SIGINT), communications,
cyber, and lasers. Its all about redefining the boundaries of

information warfare, and were making excellent progress
across the board. We are working on a new generation of
sophisticated, scalable, affordable, end-to-end EW systems.
JED: Raytheon has been one of the key players in leveraging Active, Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) technology for EW applications. What are some of the critical
lessons that SAS learned from AESA radar development,
and how have these lessons helped with development of
AESA jammers?
RY:
Wide-band, multi-function antenna arrays are

game changers that enable us to expand our capabilities to deal with threats that are becoming increasingly
capable, numerous, sophisticated and lethal. Active, electronically scanned arrays are a core
competency. Weve been able to build on everything weve learned from the last 15-20
years and transfer that expertise to our
AESA-based jamming system. The critical aspect is really about delivering large
amounts of Effective Radiated Power (ERP)
in small packages. In airborne AESA jammer pods, there is very limited space and
weight is at a premium, so this development
is vital to the entire next generation of EW
missions.

means is that future mission system architectures will

need to accommodate and control the capabilities, while
future platforms will likely be designed around the electronics rather than the other way around. Youre beginning to see some of this thinking emerging from DARPAs
Aerospace Innovation Initiative, which will produce competitive prototypes of the next generation of air dominance aircraft.
From an EW point of view, converged capabilities and
cognitive or adaptive systems that can sense the RF environment and adapt are the future of intelligent EW. It is all
about networked, high gain electronic attack, cyber, scalable common back ends and multi-function arrays. We are
also seeing the convergence of cyber, signals intelligence
(SIGINT) and EW, which transforms EW from merely being
an enabler to the mission to becoming an effector in its own
right. As a result, expect continued investment in technologies that enable EW in its broadest sense from DC (direct
current) to light (lasers).
JED: The defense electronics industry is considered to

be entering a new era of multifunction (radar/EW/Comms/
GPS) systems. How is Raytheon pursuing this trend at the
technology level and the systems engineering level?
RY: We are investing heavily in EW, including the develop-
24
ment of MFIRES (Multi-Function Integrated Receiver Exciter

System). MFIRES currently performs electronic attack, electronic support, cyber and tactical SIGINT. In addition, we
are bringing our AESA technology to EW by building EW
AESA, which when hooked up with MFIRES and the ALR-69A
Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) via Raytheons suite controller provides unprecedented EW suite capabilities. Between
missions, MFIRES circuit cards can be swapped and software
loads can be converted to completely change the mission.
Anything we design has to be open architecture, flexible
and scalable, so that you can plug elements together to deliver the required effect. What this ultimately provides is a
mission-adaptable system that delivers unprecedented levels of concise and usable sensor data to pilots.
JED: Innovation is an important element of Raytheons
engineering culture. What are some of the ways that Raytheon SAS is trying to shorten the development timelines
and lower development costs of defense electronics systems?
RY: One of the ways we try to shorten development time-
lines and lower costs is by working to understand the

threats, missions, and current and future solutions that are
essential to deal with a rapidly changing threat environment. Using high fidelity modeling and simulation, we develop scenarios to deny, disrupt and deceive an adversarys
electromagnetic capability. We deploy our strategic investments so that we can demonstrate the scalable building
blocks of next generation EW systems, allowing us to offer
lower risk, faster, more tailored and affordable solutions to
our customers.
For instance, last Octobers NGJ prototype demo flight

test at NAS China Lake was a company-funded, risk-reduction flight to assess, for the first time, against real world
threats, all the subsystems in the integrated, end-to-end
EW system. When the NGJ is ultimately ready for its mission on the EA-18 Growler, it will provide the warfighter
with a considerable upgrade in capability over existing
equipment. It is this type of upfront investment that we
feel is worthwhile.
JED: The electromagnetic spectrum has become a critical

maneuver space in modern warfare. How do you see some
of todays technology trends extending into the future to
support non-kinetic strategies?
RY: In the A2/AD warfighting environment, we believe that
we will need to deliver both kinetic and non-kinetic effects

to include EW, cyber and high-energy lasers. We have been
investing for several years in all of these areas because our
warfighters will need to stay in the fight longer than a limited kinetic payload will afford. Laser, EW and cyber effectors can provide an unlimited magazine, if you will. All of
this aligns with DODs Third Offset Strategy, which aims to
create capabilities to affordably offset adversary A2/AD capabilities. Having the ability to address and negate multiple
enemy capabilities simultaneously or nearly simultaneously when it matters most is far more important in the
A2/AD environment.
JED: Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work recently announced the creation of a new high-level council to oversee
all of the Pentagons EW programs. Why the new focus on
electronic warfare in your view?
RY: The recapitalization of our Nations and our allies EW
systems is imperative. Simply put, we have a lot of catching

up to do. Our adversaries see EW as a key part of their offensive and defensive arsenals. If we can use EW to essentially
seize the spectrum, we can provide an advantage to the U.S.
and its allies. The future of warfare is changing, and we
need to continue to evolve the capabilities that we provide
our warfighters to keep them ahead of threat-driven mission requirements.
JED: Any last thoughts?

RY: The U.S. and its allies must maintain their leadership
in electromagnetic operations. Repackaging yesterdays

technology for tomorrows needs is not technically or financially prudent. We have the capability to give the warfighter modular, open systems architecture that can be easily
adapted and upgraded. These systems will have the ability to deliver an increasingly complex and effective set of
techniques, including cyber techniques. We cannot let todays fiscal constraints deny the warfighter the technology
and capability needed to operate unimpeded in the modern
threat environment. a

The Time Has Come

Missile Warning Systems for Fast Jets Gen 4.5 and Higher
By John Haystead
26
Today, the threat posed by anti-aircraft

missiles is greater than ever. This is
true for the latest generation (5th Gen)
stealth tactical aircraft, as well as new
highly-advanced, non-stealth aircraft
and earlier-generation platforms upgraded with the latest Active Electronically
Scanned Array (AESA) radars, integrated
avionics and highly capable defensive
aids systems (Gen 4.5). The threat mix includes both RF and EO/IR-based surfaceto-air threats, as well as longer range
IR-guided air-to-air missiles. So, while
the discussion of missile warning systems is usually limited to the familiar UV
and IR-based detection systems found on
rotary craft, and low/slow flying transport aircraft, this article will take a more
holistic look at the task of missile warning for aircraft. To properly address the
missile warning requirements of modern
front-line fighter aircraft, in addition to
EO/IR warning systems, the discussion
must necessarily also include the role
of traditional Radar Warning Receivers
(RWRs), other IR/EO sensors, active radar
warners, as well as the role, or potential
role, of the AESA radar itself.
RF THREATS ARE VERY MUCH

STILL OUT THERE
Since the 1960s, radar-guided surface-to-air missile systems (SAMs) have
posed a major threat to aircraft, particularly high-flying aircraft, including fastflying fighter jets. The RF threat still
very much exists today, although the
emergence of IR-guided Man Portable Air
Defense Systems (MANPADS) and their
widespread use by regular military forces
and non-state actors has diverted significant attention and investment away from
RF missile warning and defense systems.
That situation is now starting to change,
however, as western governments and
defense organizations prepare for possible operations in much more complex

air-defense environments that include
advanced fighter aircraft and long-range
RF-guided missile systems.
Chris Bushell, Senior Vice President
for EW at Selex ES Airborne and Space
Systems Division (Luton, England) says,
This is the headline for us here at
Selex. As he sees it, The RF threat is
proliferating around the world both in
terms of numbers, as well as sophistication, and though the RF side has not
been completely forgotten, the investments that weve seen from governments
has tended more toward countering the
IR threats. What is now clear, however,
from looking at recent events around
the world, is that these RF threats are
also of increasing concern.
Irmin Menscher, VP Marketing and
Business Development, of Elbit Systems
EW and SIGINT Elisra (Bene Beraq,
Israel) agrees, observing that the RF
threats are operating at longer ranges
and expanding beyond the conventional
2- to 18-GHz frequency range, as well
as having more sophisticated Electronic
Counter-Countermeasure (ECCM) capabilities. In our view, a missile warning
system is not only for handling the IR
threat, it can also provide complimentary advantages to the RWR in the handling of RF threats as well, particularly
in places where you dont have enough
protection or situational awareness.
Menscher says that today, you have to
evaluate the threat from the perspective of the total requirements of a full
EW suite. Some of the missile threats
are more related to the (IR/EO) missile
warning system and some are more related to the RF warning portion, but I
see major improvements in the threat on
both fronts. Its already becoming more
sophisticated, and we will continue to

see later generations of sophisticated
threat technology emerging across the
board, including the radars, missiles and
control networks. If you have a combination of both radar warning and missile
warning, youre able to cope with many
more potential threat scenarios seen in
the new battlefield, such as those where
missiles are locked on and launched
when there is no actual RF system emitting, or continuously emitting.
Bruno Carrara, Thales Vice President,
Electronic Combat Systems Business,
also sees the missile threat to fast jets
increasing, with defense systems needing to be able to handle greater numbers
of threats at longer ranges. As a result,
we need to have improved sensors for
all components of the spectrum. But,
on the positive side, Carrara adds that
there is advancement on both sides of
the technology, not only in terms of the
threat but also in terms of missile warning system technology.
Murray Collette, Technical Director
for the Survivability & Targeting Solutions business of BAE Systems Electronic
Systems (Nashua, NH), says hes seeing
an increase in multi-spectral, multimode missile systems starting first
with air-to-air threats, but expected
to soon also migrate into ground-to-air
threat systems as well. As a result, missile detection and countermeasure systems will also need to be multi-mode or
multi-spectral in future, and with better system integration. Given the longer
ranges and the possibility of a multimode threat being initially launched in
an RF mode, but then switching to an
IR or EO mode for terminal guidance,
theres definitely an increasing requirement for longer range detection of missile warning systems.
siles capable of operating over longer

distances.
One approach to dealing with such a
growing number and mix of threat types
and operating modes, has been the application of powerful signal and data
processing capabilities to warning systems and EW suites, as well as greater
fusion and networking of sensors and
data within and between systems. Ultimately, the goal is to integrate and apply all of an aircrafts sensors, including
its AESA radar, into the mission of missile warning.
This also raises an interesting point,
however. Although no-one questions
the force-multiplying advantages provided to tactical aircraft by their AESA
radars, the potential integration of this
powerful sensor into the role of missile
warning is still a relatively new science.
And, although on the face of it, the potential benefits seem to be dramatic, in
fact, there are actually also a number of
significant problems that these systems
pose for defensive EW suites, particularly radar warning systems.
For example, as pointed out by Elbits
Menscher, Even before we begin thinking about trying to get more synergy between the radar and the RWR, we have
to first deal with things like the interference challenges posed by the AESA
radar in terms of working in such close
proximity. Although the use of all-digital, and sophisticated receiver systems
and software can help mitigate this
and other challenges, Menscher says it
should still not be considered a trivial
concern and approaches to integration
should not focus on achieving the greatest level of interaction, but rather on
increasing the overall capability of the
platform. Generally speaking, I can see
synergy at the platform level between
the radar and the missile warning system, but not by their working closely
together with each other, but rather
by having capabilities that can work in
parallel to benefit both.
F-22 USHERS IN ERA OF

5th GEN AIRCRAFT
As of today, the only true 5th Gen
fighter aircraft are the Lockheed Martin
F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II
Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) stealth air-
craft. The F-22 informs the pilot through

a tightly integrated combination of, BAE
Systems AN/ALR-94 passive RWR and
Lockheed Martins AN/AAR-56 IR-based
Missile Launch Detector (MLD), as well
as its Northrop Grumman AN/APG-77
Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) AESA
radar, which together provide the pilot
with 360-degree situational awareness.
The F-22s cockpit fusion is performed
by Boeing and the EW hardware integration is performed by Lockheed Martin.
With a greater range than the AN/
APG-77, the F-22s AN/ALR-94 passive
radar warning receiver system is fed
by more than 30 antennas smoothly
blended into the wings and fuselage of
the F-22, and is capable of cueing the
AN/APG-77 radar to lock onto targets.
The AN/AAR-56 Missile Launch Detector
(MLD) is a single-color IR warning system capable of long-range detection of
both air- and surface-launched missiles.
The system is comprised of six IR staring
focal plane sensors with low-observable
window frame assemblies, three common
interface processing cards, and mature
missile detection software algorithms.
Lockheed Martin is exploring a multispectral sensor variant of the system for
the F-22, as well as the incorporation of
an Infrared Search and Track (IRST) capability that could be used to passively
detect aircraft at long range through
different aspects of their heat signature.
F-35 BRINGS NEXT GENERATION

MISSILE WARNING
The F-35 is equipped with the
Northrop Grumman AN/APG-81 AESA radar. It also carries the Lockheed Martin
nose-mounted Electro-Optical Targeting
System (EOTS), the BAE Systems AN/
ASQ-239 Barracuda RF EW suite and
the Northrop Grumman AN/AAQ-37 IR
Distributed Aperture System (DAS),
which performs missile warning. As described by Peter Bartos, Northrop Grumman Director, Combat Avionics Systems
Improvements & Derivatives (Linthicum, MD), The F-35s overall situational
awareness is sensor-fusion based with
all sensors contributing what they can
to support both offensive and defensive
situational awareness.
The AN/ASQ-239 Barracuda reportedly includes 10 RF antennas embedded
BAE has a long track record with

missile warning systems for rotorcraft
and transport aircraft, but as pointed
out by Collette, theres a different set
of requirements for fast jet systems,
including different installation and environmental considerations, as well as
performance parameters. Its certainly
not insurmountable, he adds however,
noting that in some cases, the different
requirements can allow tradeoffs to be
made. For example, with helicopters,
youre typically down in the dirt at
around 500 feet, with high clutter, and
threats coming at you at very low angles
of attack. Threat warning algorithms
in this environment are very complex,
and we work very hard to reduce false
alarms. At higher altitudes, however,
the environment is typically less cluttered, and you may be able to trade such
complex false alarm rejection performance for longer range detection.
Andrew Dunn, VP of Business Development of the Integrated Electronic
Warfare Systems unit within Exelis Electronic Systems (Clifton, NJ), observes
that missile warning for fast jets is
also primarily related to mission needs.
Historically, missile warning technology had been mostly focused on protection for low/slow-flying aircraft against
MANPADS-type threats, and there
wasnt a lot of similar focus on providing that capability for high/fast-flying
jets. However, that being said, there are
fast-jet aircraft out there today doing
close air support that are getting them
closer to the ground and therefore these
IR-based threats. The result is growing interest in providing missile warning for these aircraft to support those
missions.
At the same time, as already noted,
the air-to-air missile threat is also of increasing concern for tactical fighter aircraft. Niall Ingram, Selex Vice President
and Chief Technology Officer for EW,
says the scope of the air-to-air threat is
increasing, particularly in terms of the
ranges that air-to-air missiles can operate over. Whether this is facilitated by
the beyond visual range detection capabilities of the platforms from which
they are released, or the capabilities of
the missile itself, or both, clearly more
and more countries are getting mis-
27
in the edges of aircrafts wing and tail,

and provides for sensor fusion of both RF
and IR tracking data, ESM capabilities,
as well as geolocation of threats. The
Northrop Grumman AN/AAQ-37 ElectroOptical Distributed Aperture System
(EO DAS) includes six high-resolution,
spherical passive IR sensors distributed
across the aircraft. The DAS provides
360-degree missile warning, including
missile launch location for both surface-to-air and air-to-air threats, and
it also provides Situational Awareness
Infrared Search and Track (SA-IRST),
simultaneously detecting, tracking,
and declaring aircraft within its field
of regard. It is also capable of cueing a
laser-based Directed IR Countermeasure
(DIRCM) system, such as the Northrop
Grumman Threat Nullification Defensive Resource (ThNDR) DIRCM system
being proposed for fast jets, including
the F-35, to counter both surface-to-air
and air-to-air threats.
OLD IS NEW AGAIN WITH

Information assurance requires decision superiority.

X-COM Systems capture 100% of forensic data, to aid protection, detection and
reaction capabilities:
> exceptional fidelity in signal creation and playback
> the industry's widest bandwidth with extended recording capabilities
> signal analysis and editing tools to search RF data and manipulate waveforms
As long as all missions are critical, we will not compromise on reliability.
Though perhaps not possessing the

panache of the stealth platforms, new,
highly advanced, AESA-equipped Gen4.5 aircraft are certainly not to be taken
lightly. By providing for simultaneous,
instantaneous, long-range detection
and continuous tracking of a practically unlimited number of targets, their
AESA radars give these aircraft capabilities far beyond those with earlier
generation systems, significantly increasing their survivability even in the
most dense threat environments. Add
to this the capabilities of advanced missile warning systems, and the playing
field of most operational environments
is even more leveled.

Falcon Edge Integrated Electronic

Warfare Suite (IEWS) incorporating high
sensitivity, wide-band digital receivers,
and DRFM-based countermeasures.
Beginning in the 1990s, many of the
new EW capabilities developed for the
F-16 have been driven by international users. Israel has fielded its own EW
suites for the Israeli Air Forces F-16Is.
Exelis and Raytheon have developed
the Advanced Integrated EW Suite (AIDEWS) and Advanced Countermeasures
Electronic System (ACES), respectively,
for several international F-16 customers over the past 15 years. Denmarks
Terma has integrated new EW capabilities, such as missile warning systems,
RF jammers and countermeasures dispensers, onto many European-based F16s via its Pylon Integrated Dispenser
System (PIDS) and its Electronic Combat
Integrated Pylon System (ECIPS) family
of wing pylons (see Upgrading Fast Jet
Self Protection, JED, May 2015, p. 26).
International F-16 users are likely
to continue driving major F-16 systems
upgrades, as countries like Taiwan and
South Korea pursue AESA radar capabilities for their F-16 fleets. In August
of last year, Lockheed Martin awarded
Northrop Grumman a contract for 142
AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar
(SABR) AESA radars for Taiwans F-16s.
South Korea is mulling its options after withdrawing earlier this year from
a BAE System-led upgrade program that

would have installed the Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar (RACR) AESA radar, as well as ALR-69A digital RWRs on
a large portion of its F-16 fleet.
Israeli F-16I Sufa (Storm) aircraft
are also not known to have plans for
an AESA radar, but are equipped with
the Passive Airborne Warning System
(PAWS-2) from Elbit Systems. The onecolor IR PAWS-2 is capable of rapidly discriminating between threatening and
non-threatening missiles using a target
algorithm, which tracks each threat
frame-by-frame, analyzing target maneuverability, relative position, inertial
data and angular velocity and intensity.
The system can either be installed internally or via pylon. Typically, 4-6 sensors
are installed on an aircraft to provide
360-degree coverage.

In contrast, the USAF doesnt itself
currently have a missile-warning-system-equipped F-16 or, for that matter, an AESA-equipped version of the

that. Now cancelled, the Combat Avionics Programmed Extension Suite (CAPES)

ments. Based on language in the House

Armed Services Committees FY2016 defense authorization bill, recently passed
by the House of Representatives, the
CAPES program may be revived soon.
In this bill, the House recommended
an additional $50 million for the Air
Force to begin integration and testing
of an AESA radar on F-16 aircraft. CAPES
would need to pass through several more
planning and funding wickets in both
Congress and in the Pentagon in order to
be revived, but that process seems to be
gathering momentum.
Exelis Dunn also doesnt think the
USAF F-16 AESA story is over, noting
that there is continuing talk within
NORTHCOM to restart CAPES in some
fashion. The Air National Guard still
has a requirement for the AESA capability. In addition, Dunn notes that the
missions of the Air National Guard and
US Air Force Reserves also puts them in
an environment where their F-16s will
certainly need missile warning capabilities, particularly for ground-based
IR threats. There is a requirement for
the US Air National Guard and Air Force
Reserves and there is an ongoing effort
to start a program to put a missile warning system on their F-16 aircraft. There
is expected to be testing conducted this
year looking at different options, with
an RFP expected sometime next year.
Exelis is teamed with Airbus in the competition offering the AN/AAR-60 (V)2
MILDS F system. Elbits PAWS-2 system
is also expected to be a contender. The
plan is to integrate the missile warner
into the Terma PIDS+ pylons currently
in the Air National Guard and Air Force

The International AOC and APG Susquehanna Chapter of the AOC, under a cosponsorship agreement with Army Team C4ISR APG, will hold the Inaugural CEMA
2015 Conference at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
The theme for the inaugural CEMA 2015 event is Synchronizing Cyber
Electromagnetic Activities to Win in a Complex World. The newly published Army
Operating Concept (AOC) emphasizes the importance of ready land forces and their
significance to the joint and coalition fight, and recognizes the need for continued
innovation to Win in a Complex World. Cyberspace operations, in conjunction
with electronic warfare and electromagnetic spectrum operations are identified in
the AOC as one of the seven core Army competency areas critical to shaping the
operational environment and winning decisively. Equally new is the concept of Cyber
Electromagnetic Activities, or CEMA, which is outlined in the first doctrinal field
manual of its kind that integrates and synchronizes cyberspace operations, electronic
warfare (EW), and spectrum management operations (SMO). The CEMA 2015 event
will allow for an exchange of ideas, concepts and information, and provide a venue to
address these new and emerging concepts and a framework to discuss ongoing and
future research and development to set the conditions for innovation and success.
Attending the CEMA 2015 event will also provide the Army and DoD Electronic
Warfare and Cyber communities of interest an opportunity to meet with and discuss
the current and emerging Electronic and Cyber Warfare requirements with Coalition
partners, industry technicians, engineers, and scientists and other Government
agencies and learn from their successes.

fuses data with both the aircrafts radar and its IR Search and Track (IRST)
system. The F-15SAs DEWS system also
incorporates BAEs UV-sensor-based
AN/AAR-57 Common Missile Warning
System (CMWS). According to BAE Systems Collette, although as a company,
theyve dealt with both mid-wave and
2-color IR systems, as well as UV for use
on tactical aircraft, the UV-based system was the first to deploy, requiring
very little modification to the system or
airframe. The CMWS data is integrated
into the aircrafts common threat display along with threat information from
other systems.
South Koreas F15K Slam Eagle
F-15s are equipped with the Raytheon
AN/APG-63 (V)1 AESA radar as well as
a FLIR/IRST system. Unlike the Saudi
F-15SAs, however, they carry the older
generation, Northrop Grumman TEWS
system, although with a more advanced
ALR-56C RWR. BAEs DEWS system is
reportedly part of the package that
Boeing is offering for South Koreas
next generation Silent Eagle F-15s,
however, as well as the Raytheon AN/
APG-82(V)1 AESA radar. Singapores F15SG Strike Eagles, which are currently
equipped with an Israeli EW suite (Elbits SPS-2110) will also get the AN/APG63(V)3 radar, and Japan has reportedly
expressed interest in it as a fleet upgrade possibility for its F-15Js.
As for US Air Force F-15s, the Service is well underway with a program to
completely upgrade the EW suite of its
F-15C/D/E fleet. As JED went to press,
an award announcement was expected
to be made in May for the F-15 Eagle
Passive/Active Warning Survivability
System (EPAWSS) program, which will
replace the AN/ALQ-135 TEWS system on
its F-15s. But, unlike some international
F-15 users, the EPAWSS requirement does
not currently include a missile warning

Hornet does not have a missile warning system, although BAE Systems
Collette notes that the Navy had previously evaluated a two-color IR missile
warner as part of a pod-mounted Tactical Aircraft Directable IR Countermeasures (TADIRCM) system demonstration
funded by the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). Says Collette, When I look
at the history of the TADIRCM program,
the Navy was on a path to mature and
deploy the system until things heated
up in the Middle East and priorities were
switched to their helicopter/rotorcraft
fleets. Even so, the program proved that
it was viable should the Navy and/or
Marine Corps ever want it. And, should
a Service or country prefer something
a bit more tailored to a specific region
and threat mix, it is certainly very possible to integrate the capability with
other aircraft systems to provide more
comprehensive situational awareness of
all the threats.
SAAB GRIPEN E
34
Swedens Saab JAS 39 Next Generation (NG) Gripen, or Gripen E, fighter

is fitted with the Selex ES-05 Raven
AESA radar, and although not considered a low observable aircraft, the incorporation of non-reflective radar
materials in the airframe are expected
to give the Gripen E improved stealth
characteristics. In addition to Sweden,
741971_ETI.indd 1
Brazil has also ordered the Gripen E and

Switzerland continues to express potential interest as its F-5 fleet nears the
end of its service life.
In addition to the AESA radar,
the Gripen E also carries the Selex ES
Skyward-G Infrared Search and Track
(IRST) sensor. In April, Selex ES received
an order from Saab for 60 of the systems
for the Swedish Air Forces Gripen Es. Installed on the nose of the aircraft, the
Skyward G can be used in conjunction
with other sensors on the aircraft to
provide for passive beyond-visual-range
detection of targets including ground
vehicles and naval vessels, as well as
stealthy airborne targets.
As reported in JED (Upgrading Fast
Jet Self Protection May, 2015), the
Gripen E will also have an advanced integrated EW suite with a strong focus
on multi-sensor fusion, including an
RWR/ESM system with wide frequency
coverage, interferometric DF, and wideband digital receivers. In 2013, Saab
announced that it would integrate
the Passive Airborne Warning System
(PAWS-2) IR missile warner onto its
Gripens. Although it seems likely that
the Gripen E will get the system, neither
Elbit nor Saab would confirm this.
DASSAULT RAFALE
With a continuous upgrade program
planned, the Dassault Aviation Rafale
3/31/15 11:55 PM
fighter is intended to eventually be the

sole combat aircraft type operated by
both the French Air Force and Navy.
India and Egypt have also announced
plans to acquire the aircraft, and last
month, Qatar selected the Rafale for its
Air Force, ordering 24 aircraft.
The first omnirole Rafale fighter
equipped with the new Thales Group
(Paris, France) RBE2 AESA radar was
delivered to the French Ministry of Defense in October of 2012. In addition to
the RBE2, the latest Rafale aircraft also
carry the advanced Spectra EW suite.
Jointly developed by Thales Systmes
Aroports and MBDA (Le Plessis-Robinson, France) and installed internally
on the aircraft, the highly integrated,
multispectral system incorporates MBDAs IR-based DDM-NG passive missile
warning system, as well as radar- and
laser-warning systems. The Rafale also
carries the Thales Front Sector Optronics (FSO) sensor. Cued by the Rafales
other passive and active sensors, the FSO
provides for covert long-range detection
and identification, high-resolution angular tracking and laser range-finding
for air, sea and ground targets.
As described by Thales Carrara,
Thales, one of the principle characteristics and features of the Rafale aircraft
is its enhanced situational awareness
capabilities provided by the aircrafts
very high level of system integration,
fusing threat data from all of the aircrafts on-board sensors and presenting
it in a highly-efficient manner to the
pilot. This is true for all of the aircrafts
sensors, including the AESA radar, as
well as information coming from other
off-platform sources via data links. By
rapidly integrating threat data from
multiple sensors, the Spectra system
is able to provide longer-range detection and precise localization of threats,
both ground and air-based.
Going forward, Carrara says Thales
definitely already sees a strong and
growing customer interest in improved
missile warning capabilities on the
Rafale. In terms of future improvements for Spectra, he says there are a
number of ongoing efforts addressing
various aspects of the systems capabilities. We continue to look to greater levels of integration, particularly

EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON
36
With first aircraft officially accepted

in 2003 by the partner development
nations, the Eurofighter Typhoon is
currently in service with 6 countries
(United Kingdom, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Spain, Saudi Arabia), and has
also been ordered by the government of
Oman. Last November, the Eurofighter
Jadgflugzeug GmbH and the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management
Agency (NETMA), signed a $1 billion
contract with the Euroradar Consortium
to provide the Typhoon with the new
Captor E-Scan AESA radar being developed by the consortium, with Selex
ES as the lead contractor. According to
Euroradar, the Captor E-Scans large antenna size and repositioner offers an
extremely wide (200-degree) field of regard, which is significantly larger than
typical fixed plate AESA radars, and
allows a greater number of [transmit/
receive] modules for greater power and
sensitivity. The Captor E-scan will be
compatible with both Tranche (Block) 2
and Tranche 3 Typhoon aircraft. The Ty-
phoon is also equipped with the Thales

PIRATE Infrared Search and Track
(IRST) system.
For EW, the Typhoon uses the Praetorian Defensive Aids Sub System (DASS).
Developed by the four companies belonging to the Eurodass consortium:
Selex ES (United Kingdom), Elettronica
(Italy), Airbus Defence and Space (Germany) and Indra (Spain), it is composed
of wingtip ESM and Electronic Counter
measures (ESM/ECM) pods, a Missile
Approach Warner (MAW), an optional
Selex laser warning system, as well as
countermeasure dispenser systems. The
MAW, built by Selex ES, is an active
pulse-Doppler radar missile detection
system. As described by Selexs Ingram,
there are limitations with what a traditional UV or IR missile warning capability can provide when you are effectively
relying on detecting the plume of the
missile. In contrast, with the Doppler
radar, youre tracking a moving body
through space. Ingram points out that
one advantage of an active missile detection system is longer-range detection. Today, many longer-range missile
systems dont have a continuous engine
burn and therefore you have to be in
range of the UV or IR system to detect
its launch. With active detection, you
can detect the missile with or without
an actively burning engine.
Ultimately, however, Ingram says the
optimum solution is to have a combination of the two approaches, and, in fact,
a new passive missile warning system is

reportedly being added to the Praetorian system in addition to MAWS.
A GROWING NEED
Its becoming increasingly clear that
advanced missile warning capabilities
for fast jets is not just a nice adjunct,
but a very real question of survivability.
As observed by Elbits Menscher, Even
though the specific requirement for
missile warning and how it will evolve
for fast jets is not yet completely mature
in the eyes of the customer, were definitely seeing more and more customers
asking for these capabilities. BAEs
Collette echoes the observation. Were
certainly seeing a pull internationally
for more passive, electro-optic, missile
warning for fast jets, whether IR or UV,
or a different band, and in an integrated
fashion with traditional RF missile (radar) warning.
Meanwhile, the Russian Air Force is
expected to receive the first of its Sukhoi T-50 5th Gen stealth fighter aircraft
by the end of this year at the same time
that air-to-air missiles are also rapidly
improving in capability. It will be interesting to see if this also impacts the
missile-warning-requirement equation.
Finally, as Menscher points out, The
new generation of anti-aircraft missile
technology, both western and eastern,
is spreading all over and is available to
anyone in the market. Its only a matter
of decision-making and money. a

TECHNOLOGY SURVEY
A SAMPLING OF RWRs AND ESM SYSTEMS
By Ollie Holt
Arrays (AESAs). This allows the radar to revisit the target

at more random times vs. a predictable scan pattern associated with mechanically steered radars. In addition, modern radars are becoming more frequency agile. Instead of
only changing the operating frequency when they are being
jammed, advanced radars can change frequency on every
pulse or Coherent Processing Interval (CPI). Sometimes only
a single radar pulse might be observed by an ES system.
Because the frequency may change on every pulse and the
revisit rate can continually change, the traditional ES approach of grouping like detections and developing an identification based on those parameters becomes less effective.
The only parameter that is currently fixed is angle. By
measuring the threat signals angle of arrival, an ES system
can group and possibly identify the seemingly random detections. This means that future ES systems must provide angle
measurements that are much better than the current quadrant measurements provided in many of todays systems.
In response to the radar developments described above,
the ES system market is starting to see a new concept developing Cognitive EW. This trend reflects the desire that
the EW system of the future be able to determine the intent
of the threat system by reading the detections and inferring from the information measured what the threat radar
is trying to do. Is the radar trying to determine range? If so,
can the EW system do something to prevent that from happening? Is the radar trying to determine angle or velocity,
and if so, what can be done to deny it or delay that from occurring? The ES system may possibly need to perform these
decisions on a single pulse or even within a single pulse,
and it will no longer be able to depend on a database of
detected parameters to identify the threat. Instead it will
need to try to determine the threats intent and react to
that intent, and it will need to do this on a pulse-to-pulse
basis. Similarly, new ES systems are going to require much
wider instantaneous bandwidths to detect these frequencyagile signals. Emerging threat systems may have agilities in
the gigahertz range. Scanning, narrow-band ES systems will
be hard pressed to detect these RF-agile, wide-band threat
radars unless the ES systems also have very wide instantaneous bandwidths with precision angle on every measurement. They are also going to need to take action quickly,
even within a pulse for long-pulse-width radar modes and
within a CPI for Pulse Doppler modes.
In next months JED, our technology survey will examine SIGINT tuners.
his months technology survey covers Radar

Warning Receivers (RWRs) and Electronic
Support Measures (ESM) receivers. These are
electronic support (ES) systems and should not
be confused with SIGINT systems. ES systems
focus on providing situational awareness and
threat warning by detecting, identifying and locating radar
emitters and cueing a countermeasures system. SIGINT
receivers are more focused on data collection for on-board
or off-board data analysis.
In this discussion, we are going to group RWRs and ESM
systems and refer to them as ES systems. We will discuss
how a typical ES system works and the technical challenges
they face in the future.
Current ES systems scan the frequency range in discrete steps. The width of the each step is determined by
the receivers instantaneous bandwidth. The instantaneous
bandwidth can be as small as a few hundred megahertz or
as large as many gigahertz. Whatever the instantaneous
bandwidth is, the total bandwidth that needs to be covered, divided by the instantaneous bandwidth, defines the
number of steps or scan states the ES system must be tuned
through. Usually the ES system has a tool that aids in developing a scan schedule that optimizes the probability of
intercept (POI) of the key threat radar systems expected
during the mission.
As the ES system scans the environment, radar signals
are detected (pulsed or continuous wave [CW]) and the parameters of the signals are measured. These measured parameters are then grouped by frequency, angle, pulse width
and/or a combination of these parameters. This is typically
called deinterleaving. After groups of these detections have
been collected, the ES system compares these common parameters with a database (sometimes known as a threat library) of radar system parameters. After this comparison,
if lucky, a unique radar identification will emerge. If not,
either a group of possible threats (ambiguities) or no identification (unknown emitter) results. Sometimes the ambiguities or the unknown detections resolve after multiple
detections (radar modes change, measurements get better
or more data aids in completing the threat identification).
After the identification or ambiguity group has been determined, the information becomes available on the aircrews
cockpit displays.
This concept of operation for ES systems has served us
well for decades. However, new technology is changing how
threat radar systems operate. For example, radars are becoming more automatic with Active Electronically Scanned

a way to model the propagation over some object,
such as a ridge line, which is near the line-of-sight
path between a transmitter and a receiver, or which
blocks the line-of-sight path. Now, we will consider

that cannot reasonably be modeled as a knife edge. The actual
contour of the ridge line is represented by a cylinder.
To use this technique, you first find the knife-edge diffraction
as described last month. Then, perform the operations described
in this months column to determine the additional loss caused
by the width of the ridge line over which the signal is diffracted.

We need the angle in radians for this calculation. One radian is 57.3 degrees, so if you calculate the arc tangents in
degrees, you will need to divide the result by 57.3.

e2v has been developing and manufacturing Exploding
Foil Initiators (EFIs) and Electronic Safety and Arming Units
(ESAU) since the mid-1980s.
To meet market demands e2v introduces our new low
energy exploding foil initiator, LEEFI product line,
offering a miniature fireset capable of addressing
smaller scale applications with an electronic,
in line, insensitive munition (IM) compliant solution.
e2v ESAU technology employs solid-state
sensing and switching components, bringing
enhanced capability and safety to a wide
range of platforms.

f is the signal transmission frequency in MHz.
FOR EXAMPLE
Building on the knife-edge diffraction example from last month:
d1 is 20,000 meters,
d2 is 28,300 meters,
H is 62 meters,
F is 150 MHz, and
t he knife edge extends above the line-of-sight.
We calculated the KED loss to be 10 dB and the LOS loss to be
109.6 dB.
Now, we add the value of 10 meters for D.
Using the above formulas,
a = atan(62/20,000) + atan (62/28,300) = .003 + .0022 = .0052 radians
For Example
Building on the knife edge diffraction example from last month:
d1 is 20,000 meters
d2 is 28,300 meters
H is 62 meters
F is 150 MHz
The knife edge extends above the line-of-sight
We calculated the KED loss to be 10 dB and the LOS loss to be 109.6 dB.
r = [2 x 10 x 20,000 x 28300] /[.0052(20,0002 + 28,3002)] =

1.132 x 1010 /6.2 x 106 = 1,826 meters
LCYL = 11.7 x .0052 x sqt[(1826 x 150)/ 96] = 3.2 dB
Now, we add the value of 10 meters for D.
Last month, we calculated the line-of-sight loss (ignorUsing

2015 AOC Election Guide

PRESIDENT
Lisa Frug-Cirilli
Lisa has been an active part of
Electronic Warfares (EWs) evolution over the past 18 years. She
brings fresh reserves of technical
EW expertise, as well as superior
leadership skills to the position of
the International AOC Presidency.
Her outstanding contributions to
both government and industry EW
efforts have been rich and varied.
She is a continuing inspiration to the Dixie Crow Chapters
Scholarship and Membership initiatives. Lisa was a chairperson
of this years 40th Dixie Crow Symposium. She also currently
serves as one of the International AOCs Regional Directors and
is Chairperson of our national Membership Committee. Lisa was
hand selected to serve as a special representative to the International AOC Strategy Planning Committee.
Lisa spent the first nine years of her government career
working intra-agency policies associated with the release of
critical technologies for EW and sensor programs. Lisa then left
government service to join industry as a Senior Program Manager for EW programs and activities. In this highly regarded
capacity, Lisa was responsible for EW program sales to both
domestic and foreign customers. Lisa then joined BAE Systems
in 2009 to serve as their lead Field Marketing Representative
in Warner Robins, GA.
Lisa recognizes that the International AOC faces unique
and unprecedented challenges in the years ahead. For the
first time in several years, the office of the President is going to require a two-year commitment. She has clear ideas on
how we can improve our communitys understanding of the
potential impact of EW and Cyber programs/activities/operations in full-spectrum operations. She also wants to renew
focus on our Joint Service and coalition EW needs/synergy
and interoperability priorities. Her vast government/industry experience makes her extremely well qualified to address
challenges in our international AOC strategy, acquisition approach, operational support/sustainment and security areas.
Finally, Lisa possesses unmatched skills for incentivizing our
scholarship and membership opportunities. Lisa is widely rec-
ognized as a distinguished EW professional who has made

enduring contributions to the International AOC and our national security posture.
Tony Lisuzzo
As a member since 1984 nearly
31 years now the AOC has always
been an integral part of Tonys career, and he has served the AOC
well as Secretary, Treasurer, Vice
President and President in the
Garden State Chapter, in addition
to running numerous conferences
and participating in several technology panels during AOC symposiums over the years. Today, Tony continues to serve the AOC
as a leading member of the International Board of Directors.
In 2009, he was honored and humbled to be the AOCs 2009 International Gold Medal recipient. In addition, he has received
numerous commendations and awards throughout his career,
including the Presidential Award and Meritorious Civilian Service Award for being one of the first organizations to institute
a QRC development program and rapidly deliver EW Counter
IED systems to protect our warfighters. These QRC efforts resulted in becoming Program of Record systems and provide
enduring capabilities.
Tonys clearly demonstrated leadership abilities and his
traits of dedication and devotion to duty, with the utmost of
integrity, will prove invaluable in leading the future AOC. Tony
always advocates its capabilities and technical competencies
to all EW/Cyber and EMSO communities of interest. He continuously interfaces and educates these communities on the
increased importance of ISR, Cyber and EW capabilities that
represent a significant change in the way our coalition forces
must address their operational environment. Next generation
systems are emerging to form a global network that seamlessly
converges commercial/military wired, wireless, optical, satellite communications, ISR and other systems into one network
that supports the Internet of Things (IoT). The Department
of Defense and Worldwide Ministries of Defences collective
abilities to leverage this convergence, to ensure and address

Cyber resiliency and secure Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS)

capabilities of our integrated national and Allied partners, are
critical to the collective success of future operations.
More than ever, the EMS and the EW/cyber challenges need
to be addressed at the highest levels of government, industry and academia partnership, and need to be the combined
responsibility of our Association. Specifically working with
our international colleagues and teaming together will be
the ingredient for success. Tony wants to assist AOC and the
community to identify areas for combined operations so the
strengths of all are maximized. Tony has the experience, fortitude and communication skills to ensure that the AOC meets
these challenges and focuses the future leaders of EW, ISR, EMS
and Cyber. Tony is committed to carry forward and represent
the honor of the AOC and its core principles and professional
attributes to the overall organization. He will ensure transparency across the membership, as well as the entire community.

The AOC, as an organization,

has challenges ahead: 1) we have
an aging membership; 2) we have
a declining membership; 3) military budgets were sequestered,
which limited participation in
AOC events; 4) shrinking budgets
reduce sponsor participation; 5)
some chapters are struggling, and
international chapters feel isolated. 6) EW, Spectrum and Cyber must all be synchronized by
IO to effectively achieve spectrum dominance, and there are
misconceptions about where EW plays. As a result, historically funding has been pushed towards Cyber. So how do we
as an organization address these challenges and remain a
vibrant, professional organization?
I view the AOC as an organization that is here to serve its
members via education, representation and inclusion. The Board
of Directors serves and represents the membership, and the
Presidents role is to: provide strong leadership to, and for, the
organization; provide a vision for the organization; provide support to the members and chapters; challenge and inspire the
Board to architect and implement the changes and actions required to make the AOC a respected partner and leader in the
EW, Cyber, EMSO and IO communities. We need to engage young
Crows involved in STEM education. We need to provide members
and chapters better service and products that include education,
communication and awareness of what is occurring in our stated
mission areas in the Services, OSD, OGAs, COCOMs, on Capitol
Hill and in Industry. We need to do a better job of providing
sponsors a venue for their products and a conduit to address
their issues on the Hill. We need to recruit the best and brightest to serve on the BOD and represent our community, and we
need to develop and implement an education and engagement
strategy that includes policymakers and Congress. We are an
international organization that maintains a US focus, and this
needs to change. We have opportunities for success, EW is starting to get recognized, $2 billion of investment has been identified as a requirement to fix EW, and we as an organization can
use our expertise to help develop investment strategies, change
acquisition processes, improve policy decisions and support the
Services and OSD. I feel I can provide the leadership, representation and vision to your AOC to make this happen.

3,000 hours and more than 400 combat hours.
Candidate statement: Hack the clockduring my
initial flight training, many years ago, this was the first
step in an emergency procedure. The point made to the
young aviators was that you should understand the problem before you acted; gain an awareness of the environment around you, then act to correct the system. The clock
is running, the time to think is over and now is the time
to act. We understand the relationship EW has in todays
world and where the entire EW enterprise must go to reassert dominance in the Spectrum. Now, the AOC needs to
drive the non-partisan agenda to ensure that EW doctrine,
acquisition, manning, training, execution and assessment
are at the forefront of the discussion. It is a momentous
