C- & X-Band Radar Systems in Contested Environments Essentials Training by Tonex
Modern missions demand radar that thrives under pressure, not just survives. This two day intensive equips engineers and operators to architect, tune, and validate C and X band fire control and tracking radars that hold lock through denial and deception. You will translate ECCM theory into antenna and waveform choices that outmaneuver electronic attack while preserving LPI behavior and track quality. Cybersecurity matters because software defined radar, networks, and data links create attack surfaces alongside the spectrum fight. You will learn to reduce cyber electromagnetic risk, harden interfaces, and protect mission data even when adversaries blend jamming with cyber intrusion.
Learning Objectives
