DESCRIPTION:Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Training Bootcamp\nSIGINT (Signal
s Intelligence) is a broad discipline\, and can include intelligence colle
ction from various means including communications intelligence (COMMINT)\,
electronic intelligence (ELINT)\, Radar and electronic warfare (EW).\nSIG
INT systems gather information from adversaries’ electronic signals. Anal
ysts then evaluate this raw data from foreign communication systems\, rada
rs and weapon systems\, and transform it into actionable intelligence. Th
e information generated by these systems offers insight into adversaries’
actions\, capabilities\, and intentions before they are carried out.\nThe
origins of SIGINT can be traced back to the first world war when British f
orces began intercepting German radio communications to gain intelligence
about their plans. This led to the use of cryptography to conceal the cont
ent of radio transmissions\, and as such\, cryptanalysis became an integra
l part of SIGINT as well.\nBut as electronic warfare and wireless technolo
gy has evolved\, so have approaches to signals intelligence. Automation an
d artificial intelligence (AI)\, for example\, have greatly improved commu
nications planning and SIGINT capabilities. An automated algorithm detects
and identifies signals in sensor data much faster than a highly trained o
perator.\nSignal detection from massive amounts of stored data is like sea
rching for a needle in a haystack. An operator controlled autonomous agent
finds incoming signals\, automatically determine signal type\, and provid
es an analyst with reasons why a determination was made.\nAlgorithms help
SIGNET systems automates the low-level detection and classification tasks.
This frees up military personnel to focus on higher level tactical decisi
on making. This way\, the system becomes another team member\, with a supe
rvising human in the loop to authorize the appropriate military response.
\nIn addition\, through SIGNET automation\, a commander can gain an “EM si
gnature picture” of his forces as they are arrayed in the battlespace. Thi
s way\, he can glean valuable information on his own EM signature and use
that information to improve or implement additional passive and active act
ions to increase survivability.\nThe responsibilities of a signals intelli
gence (SIGINT) analyst include examining foreign communications and activi
ty and collating the information by compiling reports on combat\, strategy
and tactical intelligence\, to support Special Operations Task Force and
other government agencies.\nUsing advanced equipment\, the SIGINT analyst
analyzes intercepted messages and organizes relevant information\, identif
ies operational patterns\, and notifies commanders of unusual activity so
they can respond appropriately. Other duties include maintaining databases
and assisting with placing\, camouflaging and retrieving surveillance sys
tems.\nOpportunities in this type of position are most prevalent in the mi
litary including the Army\, Air Force and the National Guard\, but there a
re positions available outside the military as well\, such as with technol
ogy companies that work with law enforcement and counterintelligence agenc
ies.\nSignals Intelligence (SIGINT) Training Bootcamp by Tonex\nSignals In
telligence (SIGINT) Training Bootcamp is a 3-day training course covering
all aspects of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) including Communications Int

ormation systems to help protect troops and military operations\, national
security\, fight terrorism\, combat international crime and narcotics\, s
upport diplomatic negotiations\, support allies\, and advance many other i
mportant national objectives.\nParticipants will learn about SIGINT and to

ons\, satellite/space\, commercial communication systems\, mobile networks
\, radar and other electronic and communication systems. The instructors w
ill show you what to collect\, and how to process\, analyze\, produce\, an
d disseminate Signals Intelligence information and data for intelligence a
nd counterintelligence purposes.\nParticipants will also learn about advan
ced techniques and algorithms for collection\, network characterization\,
and analysis across the Radio Frequency Spectrum for the purpose of suppor
ting Find\, Fix\, Finish\, Exploit\, Analyze and Disseminate (F3EAD).\nCom
munication is an important part of everyday life — especially when it come
s to leading a country. World leaders communicate with their people in a v
ariety of ways. All of these forms of communication emit a signal that can
be collected. The information gathered from these intercepted signals is
of vital importance to national security.\nLearning Objectives\nAfter comp

overwhelming reliance on space technology – a trend not lost on cybercrimi

sent to back offices to allow teams to track drivers and assets.\nOrganiz
ations which have remote outposts or oceangoing ships can’t exactly get on
line via a mobile or cable network\, so they have to use communications sa

they collect themselves\, which might include images of sensitive military
installations or critical infrastructure.\nOf course all of these factors
make for attractive targets to various types of cybercriminal. Although r
esiding in the vacuum of deep space makes them less vulnerable to physical
attacks\, space-based systems are still ultimately controlled from comput
ers on the ground. At issue is that data is transmitted by and stored on o

.\nFor NASA\, reliable communication between ground and spacecraft is cent
ral to mission success\, especially in the realms of digital communication
(data and command links). Unfortunately\, these light communication links
are vulnerable to malicious intrusion. If terrorists or hackers illegally
listen to\, or worse\, modify communication content\, disaster can occur.
\nEspecially worrisome are the consequences of a nuclear powered spacecraf
t under control of a hacker or terrorist\, which could be devastating. Obv
iously\, all communications to and between spacecraft must be extremely se
cure and reliable.\nMilitary satellites and space systems are also vulnera
ble since almost all modern military engagements rely on space-based asset
s\, providing GPS coordinates\, telecommunications\, monitoring and more.
Aging IT systems\, supply-chain vulnerabilities and other technological is
sues that leave military satellite communications open to disruption and t
ampering also need to be addressed according to space security personnel.
\nWhile navigational satellite systems like GPS (US)\, GLONASS (Russia) an
d Beidou (China) might not be the easiest targets to hack\, there are doze
ns of other satellite owners of global communications. Additionally\, thou
sands more companies rent bandwidth from satellite owners for selling serv

\n\n
We are developing an overwhelming reliance on space technology
– a trend not lost on cybercriminals.
\n
Th
is growing dependency on satellites and the like\, puts organizations in a
precarious position. In industries like transport and logistics\, locatio
n data is routinely recorded in real time from GPS satellites and sent to
back offices to allow teams to track drivers and assets.
\n
Organizations which have remote outposts or oceangoing shi
ps can’t exactly get online via a mobile or cable network\, so they have t
o use communications satellites instead. On top of that\, satellites store
sensitive information they collect themselves\, which might include image
s of sensitive military installations or critical infrastructure.
\n
Of course all of these factors make for attractiv
e targets to various types of cybercriminal. Although residing in the vacu
um of deep space makes them less vulnerable to physical attacks\, space-ba
sed systems are still ultimately controlled from computers on the ground.
At issue is that data is transmitted by and stored on orbiting satellites
more and more every year. Therefore\, bad actors have them in their sites
due to the high value of data stored on satellites and other space systems
.
\n
Particularly disturbing\, space securit
y specialists now tell us that cyber attackers don’t even need to be exper
t hackers from space-faring nations. And neither do they need direct\, phy
sical access to control systems belonging to organizations like NASA\, ESA
or Roscosmos.
\n
For NASA\, reliable commun
ication between ground and spacecraft is central to mission success\, espe
cially in the realms of digital communication (data and command links). Un
fortunately\, these light communication links are vulnerable to malicious
intrusion. If terrorists or hackers illegally listen to\, or worse\, modif
y communication content\, disaster can occur.
\n
Especially worrisome are the consequences of a nuclear powered spacec
raft under control of a hacker or terrorist\, which could be devastating.
Obviously\, all communications to and between spacecraft must be extremely
secure and reliable.
\n
Military satellites
and space systems are also vulnerable since almost all modern military en
gagements rely on space-based assets\, providing GPS coordinates\, telecom
munications\, monitoring and more. Aging IT systems\, supply-chain vulnera
bilities and other technological issues that leave military satellite comm
unications open to disruption and tampering also need to be addressed acco
rding to space security personnel.
\n
While
navigational satellite systems like GPS (US)\, GLONASS (Russia) and Beidou
(China) might not be the easiest targets to hack\, there are dozens of ot
her satellite owners of global communications. Additionally\, thousands mo
re companies rent bandwidth from satellite owners for selling services lik
e satellite TV\, phone and internet. Then there are hundreds of millions o
f businesses and individuals around the world which use them.
\n
All told\, it’s a pretty large potential attack surfa
ce which is connected directly to the internet.

SSSP) Course by Tonex
\n
Although some of t
hese issues are no different from other industries\, space systems are met
with a unique confluence of cybersecurity risks that complicates the sect
or’s remediation capabilities.
\n\n
Governments\, critical infrastructure and economies rely on
space-dependent services—for example\, the Global Positioning System (GPS
)—that are vulnerable to hostile cyber operations. However\, few space-far
ing states and companies have paid sufficient attention to the cybersecuri
ty of satellites in outer space\, creating a number of risks.
\n

ems Security Professional) qualification is one of the most respected cert
ifications in the space security industry\, demonstrating an advanced know
ledge of space cybersecurity.

manage a cybersecurity space program. With a CSSSP\, you validate your ex
pertise and become a Space Cyber member\, unlocking a broad array of exclu
sive resources\, educational tools\, seminars\, conferences and networking
opportunities.
\n
CSSSP certification also
explores factors that led to the space sector’s poor cybersecurity posture
\, various cyberattacks against space systems\, and existing mitigation te
chniques employed by the sector.
\n
Analyzin
g the current state of the industry along with security practices across s
imilar sectors\, several security principles for satellites and space asse
ts are proposed to help reorient the sector toward designing\, developing\
, building and managing cyber secure systems. These security principles ad
dress both technical and policy issues in order to address all space syste
m stakeholders.

DESCRIPTION:RF Engineering Training Course covers all aspects of Radio Freq
uency Engineering\, a subset of electrical engineering. The course incorpo
rates theory and practices to illustrate the role of RF into almost everyt
hing that transmits or receives a radio wave which includes: RF planning\,
cellular networks including 2G GSM\, 3G UMTS\, 4G LTE\, 5G\, mmWave\, 6G\

lanning\, electromagnetic modeling and simulation\, interference analysis
and resolution\, coverage analysis\, propagation models\, RF engineering\,
system specifications and performance\, modulation\, antenna theory\, lin
k design\, traffic engineering\, optimization\, benchmarking\, safety\, RF
testing and system integration and measurements. Design and production en
gineers and technicians interested in improving RF engineering skills thro
ugh a practical approach will benefit from this course.\n \nLearn about RF
engineering principles defined by ITU-T and 3GPP.\nA Radio Frequency (RF)
Engineer is an electrical engineer who specializes in devices that receiv
e or transmit radio waves.\nAll our wireless and mobile devices operate on
radio waves\, so our tech-centered society would not be possible without
the work of RF Engineers. These Engineers often work in a collaborative en
vironment both with other RF Engineers and stakeholders in other disciplin
es\, including things like:\n\nDesigning RF schematics for new wireless ne
tworks\nEnsuring regulatory standards are met\nCommunicating data using di
gital software\nOptimizing the performance of existing wireless networks\n
Analyzing equipment and identifying areas of improvement\n\nFor most RF en
gineers\, it all starts with an understanding of antenna theory. The funda
mentals of antenna theory requires that the antenna be “impedance matched”
to the transmission line or the antenna will not radiate.\nAn antenna is
an array of conductors (elements)\, electrically connected to the receiver
or transmitter. Antennas can be designed to transmit and receive radio wa
ves in all horizontal directions equally (omnidirectional antennas)\, or p
referentially in a particular direction (directional\, or high-gain or “be
am” antennas).\nAn antenna may include components not connected to the tra
nsmitter\, parabolic reflectors\, horns\, or parasitic elements\, which se
rve to direct the radio waves into a beam or other desired radiation patte
rn.\nIn truth\, RF engineering can be both challenging and frustrating.\nC
ommunication is a key part of being a radio frequency engineer. A lack of
communication can cause a lot of problems in radio frequency engineering b
ecause there are so many little details that could change at any time\, an
d if someone does not catch the changes\, an entire product could get dama
ged or completed incorrectly.\nBeing able to prioritize is also essential.
RF engineers often have multiple roles and responsibilities. Quite often
a RF engineer will have up to 10 tasks at once. Being able to sort out wha
t tasks take priority over others is a very important skill. Deadlines and
importance of the task must be considered to know where to spend the corr
ect amount of time and when.\nRF Engineers are a part of a highly speciali
zed field and are an integral part of wireless solutions. Their expertise
is needed to design effective and reliable solutions to produce quality re
sults\, an in-depth knowledge of math\, physics and general electronics th
eory is required.\nRF Engineers are specialists in their respective field
and assist in both the planning\, design\, implementation\, and maintenanc
e of different RF solutions. To produce quality results in RF Engineering
Training Bootcamp\, the program covers an in-depth knowledge of math\, phy
sics\, general electronics theory as well as specialized modules in propag
ation and microstrip design may be required.\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND?\nThis cou

\n
A Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer is an electr
ical engineer who specializes in devices that receive or transmit radio wa
ves.
\n
All our wireless and mobile devices operate on radio waves\,
so our tech-centered society would not be possible without the work of RF
Engineers. These Engineers often work in a collaborative environment both
with other RF Engineers and stakeholders in other disciplines\, including
things like:
\n
\n
Designing RF schematics for new wireless netwo
rks
\n
Ensuring regulatory standards are met
\n
Communicatin
g data using digital software
\n
Optimizing the performance of exis
ting wireless networks
\n
Analyzing equipment and identifying areas
of improvement
\n
\n
For most RF engineers\, it all starts with
an understanding of antenna theory. The fundamentals of antenna theory re
quires that the antenna be “impedance matched” to the transmission line or
the antenna will not radiate.
\n
An antenna is an array of conductor
s (elements)\, electrically connected to the receiver or transmitter. Ante
nnas can be designed to transmit and receive radio waves in all horizontal
directions equally (omnidirectional antennas)\, or preferentially in a pa
rticular direction (directional\, or high-gain or “beam” antennas).
\n<
p>An antenna may include components not connected to the transmitter\, par
abolic reflectors\, horns\, or parasitic elements\, which serve to direct
the radio waves into a beam or other desired radiation pattern.\n
In
truth\, RF engineering can be both challenging and frustrating.
\n
C
ommunication is a key part of being a radio frequency engineer. A lack of
communication can cause a lot of problems in radio frequency engineering b
ecause there are so many little details that could change at any time\, an
d if someone does not catch the changes\, an entire product could get dama
ged or completed incorrectly.
\n
Being able to prioritize is also ess
ential. RF engineers often have multiple roles and responsibilities. Quite
often a RF engineer will have up to 10 tasks at once. Being able to sort
out what tasks take priority over others is a very important skill. Deadli
nes and importance of the task must be considered to know where to spend t
he correct amount of time and when.
\n
RF Engineers are a part of a h
ighly specialized field and are an integral part of wireless solutions. Th
eir expertise is needed to design effective and reliable solutions to prod
uce quality results\, an in-depth knowledge of math\, physics and general
electronics theory is required.
\n
RF Engineers are specialists in th
eir respective field and assist in both the planning\, design\, implementa
tion\, and maintenance of different RF solutions. To produce quality resul
ts in RF Engineering Training Bootcamp\, the program covers an in-depth kn
owledge of math\, physics\, general electronics theory as well as speciali
zed modules in propagation and microstrip design may be required.
