SATCOM EW & Resilience Strategies Workshop by Tonex
Duration: 2 Days | Audience: Electronic Warfare Officers, SATCOM Engineers, Joint Mission Planners
Explores Electronic Warfare (EW) threats to MILSATCOM and defense strategies for maintaining availability, LPI/LPD, anti-jam, and link survivability in denied environments.
This workshop equips military SATCOM stakeholders and mission planners with the knowledge to detect, mitigate, and recover from electronic warfare (EW) threats. It focuses on techniques to ensure SATCOM resilience and survivability, including adaptive modulation, beam steering, frequency hopping, and alternative communication paths in degraded, denied, and contested environments.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- Identify and categorize jamming, spoofing, and electromagnetic threats to SATCOM.
- Assess vulnerabilities in MILSATCOM waveforms and architectures.
- Apply mitigation strategies such as PTW, XDR, and EHF secure comms.
- Develop SATCOM CONOPS for denied or degraded environments.
- Coordinate with EW and cyber teams for combined spectrum resilience.
- Explore crosslink and alternate path survivability solutions in orbital space.
Target Audience:
- Electronic warfare officers and spectrum managers
- SATCOM engineers and mission planners
- Space command and control (C2) teams
- Signal officers and tactical comms leaders
- EW/Cyber integration teams and SATCOM sustainment specialists
Course Modules:
- Day 1: EW Threats to SATCOM
- Jamming types: uplink/downlink, sweep, barrage
- Direction finding, spoofing, and meaconing
- Threat actors and strategic use of SATCOM denial
- Day 2: Resilience & Mitigation Strategies
- Frequency hopping, adaptive power control, beamforming
- Protected Tactical Waveform (PTW), XDR, and EHF techniques
- CONOPS for satellite repositioning, alternate paths, crosslinks
