Airborne Electronic Warfare 101 Training by Tonex
Airborne Electronic Warfare 101 Training by Tonex provides a practical two-day introduction to the principles, systems, and mission considerations that shape modern airborne EW operations. Participants examine aircraft self-protection, radar warning receivers, missile warning systems, jammers, expendables, airborne threat environments, and EW mission planning.
The course also addresses how EW capabilities are integrated into aircraft platforms while supporting survivability, situational awareness, and mission effectiveness. Cybersecurity is increasingly tied to EW because aircraft mission systems, threat libraries, data links, and electronic support functions depend on secure digital infrastructure. Strong cybersecurity practices help protect EW data, mission files, and operational workflows from manipulation, compromise, or unauthorized access.
