Certified Radar and EW Systems Engineer (CREWS) Certification Program by Tonex
This program develops professionals who design, integrate, and validate modern radar and electronic warfare systems across airborne, maritime, land, and space domains. Participants learn RF fundamentals, sensor architectures, signal processing, target tracking, ECM and ECCM, spectrum operations, and platform integration with safety and reliability in mind.
Emphasis is placed on modeling and test strategies that translate into fieldable capability with predictable performance. Cybersecurity is treated as a first-class requirement, covering secure waveforms, resilient C2 links, and hardening of embedded processors. Graduates understand how cybersecurity risks impact sensor integrity, mission data, and contested-spectrum survivability, ensuring radar and EW solutions remain trustworthy under active adversary pressure.
