RADAR/ELECTRONIC WARFARE CONFERENCE Recognizing the continuing need for improved exchanges of technical information between Radar and EW engineers, the AOC will sponsor the Fourth Radar/Electronic Warfare Conference on December 8-9, 1998 at John Hopkins University, Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland. The classification of the conference will be SECRET, U.S. ONLY. The conference will address Radar, ECM (both ES and EA), and ECCM for land, air and sea platforms. Both systems and techniques will be addressed. Dr. Gerard Trunk, Superintendent of the Radar Division of the Naval Research Laboratory is the conference chairman. Dr. Eli Brookner, Raytheon Corporation, will be the keynote speaker and his topic will be Space-Based Radar for the Next Millennium. The conference has four sessions. Session one will address Wide Area Surveillance, which includes briefings on Joint STARS Radar Technology Insertion Program (RTIP); AWACS in Wide Area Surveillance; Radar in Space Surveillance; HF Radar ECCM and Ship Identification and Tracking viaSEL. Session two will address Systems with papers on: ECCM features of AN/SPY-1; AN/SPY-1 developments in support of Navy TBMD; APS-137; Advanced Multifunctional RF Systems PATRIOT ground radar ECCM and PATRIOT Advanced Capability 3 Interceptor ECCM. Session three will focus on techniques with briefings covering: Periscope Detection and Discrimination; Advanced SAR Technologies; Counter CCD with Foliage Penetration SAR; Space Time Adaptive Processing; TBMD Discrimination Fidelity, Anti-Ship Missile Simulations; the AN/SLY-2, Advanced Integrated EW System; Airborne CM; ECCM Development to Mitigate Effects of Jamming on Synthetic Aperture Radar. The conference is designed to inform the EW community of the latest radar and radar-ECCM developments and to provide the radar community with recent trends in electronic warfare. The purpose of this conference will be to provide up-to-date technical presentations designed to cover recent developments in radar of interest to the EW community, as well as EW methods directed towards degrading radar performance and the radar response to EW measures. As with previous radar conferences, this forum is designed to enhance better communications between the radar and EW communities. The conference is considered one of the most comprehensive technical forums addressing important and far-reaching issues regarding radar and EW. It is a "must attend" for both government and industry personnel engaged in both radar and EW activities to ensure they have current information regarding present and future issues, technologies and programs.
