Expendable Jammers (Offboard Countermeasures)

Seminar Overview

This course will address the new requirements for Expendable Jammers in land, naval and air applications. Attendees will be taken through a detailed understanding of roles, applications, deployment issues and technology capabilities. Once performance requirements have been established, a comprehensive review will be made of existing expendable jammers and ongoing technology programs leading to projections on future directions (eg. cost and technology) for expendables.
