Overview

Digital Radio Frequency Memory (DRFM) Technology Advanced

Course Description

This course introduces DRFM technology as it is used for radar jamming and explains why DRFM coherent Electronic Attack is more efficient and flexible than traditional noise jamming.  Instructors are true DRFM Technology subject matter experts each with over 20 years of experience working full time supporting DoD Electronic Warfare programs developing, analyzing, and testing DRFM technology.  Classroom lectures are augmented with live hardware demonstrations of DRFM devices.  These demos greatly reinforce the concepts discussed in lectures and are often noted by students as being a course highlight that significantly enhances the learning experience. Questions and student interaction are encouraged throughout the course and a quiz is utilized to help engage the students with the subject materials as well as assess evidence of learning.
