Course Description
Advanced RF Electromagnetic Warfare Principles – Part B, a contract-only course, picks up after Part A to cover the curriculum of DEF 2502P Advanced RF Electromagnetic Warfare Principles in full. The two-part offering can be requested for private groups and organizations interested in splitting this advanced training into two parts. Part B focuses on electronic attack (EA) topics, providing learners with a complete understanding of the critical details of major threat radar-controlled weapon systems advances. Due to the sensitivity of the topic, lectures and discussions take place at the classified level.
