Space Electronic Warfare 101 Training by Tonex
Space Electronic Warfare 101 Training by Tonex provides a focused 2-day introduction to electronic warfare concepts, spectrum operations, and RF threat environments affecting modern space systems. Participants examine space-based spectrum operations, SATCOM interference, GNSS jamming and spoofing, space-ground RF links, satellite payload vulnerabilities, counterspace spectrum threats, and resilience strategies for mission continuity.
The course connects electronic warfare fundamentals with operational, engineering, and security concerns across military, government, and commercial space missions. Cybersecurity is strongly affected because EW attacks can disrupt data links, degrade command paths, and weaken trusted mission communications. Cybersecurity teams must understand RF-layer threats as part of broader space system defense.
