- Electronic Warfare - invisible protection for aircraft
Given the high cost of front line aircraft like Typhoon, Apache and the next generation Tempest platform, it is imperative that such aircraft, and more importantly the aircrew, are protected during operation. As missile systems become ever more sophisticated, effective protection needs to be provided by Electronic Warfare (EW). Always a more shadowy entity than other, more conventional, forms of warfare, EW is based around manipulation of electromagnetic energy, invisible to the naked eye.
From its early origins, EW has emerged from the educated guesswork of World War II into today’s modern Systems. Initially concerned with monitoring and disrupting bomber guidance radio beams, EW systems must now detect, identify and counter multiple electromagnetic emissions simultaneously. The technology involved is, to say the least, challenging. It is also ever changing, making the most of technological advances on an almost daily basis and pushing the boundaries of electronic and signal processing with each new system development.
This lecture will describe the key features of Electronic Warfare, including the threats posed to aircraft and the methods used to support the aircrew to “Help them see, keep them safe”. Drawing on over 30 years’ experience in the development and use of EW equipment, the lecturer will give an insight into this fascinating, often secret world.
Speaker Details:
Professor Fiona M Clark, MA Cantab (Newnham College, Cambridge University) Head of Capability, EW Sensors Leonardo UK Ltd
Fiona gained her Degree and Masters in Mathematics from Cambridge University in 1984 and 1987 respectively. She joined Marconi Defence Systems (now Leonardo), spending many years developing software simulations of Electronic Warfare (EW) equipment and operational environments which were used to optimise EW System performance.
Fiona attended a number of RAF Operational Evaluation trials in the UK and USA, providing technical support to the RAF in optimising EW performance, enhancing the detection and identification of threat systems and subsequent application of effective countermeasures to protect the host platform.
Considered an expert in the field of EW, Fiona continues to be involved in operational analysis of EW sensor performance and has specific skills in post mission analysis and programming of mission libraries.
Fiona been responsible for providing core EW training for all staff joining Leonardo over the past 30 years, as well as supporting external lectures to forces personnel from around the world. Fiona is able to explain complex EW concepts in an accessible way to enlighten experts and enthusiasts alike. She was recently awarded a post of Visiting Professor at the Defence Academy, Cranfield University.
Fiona now heads the Capability Team of Leonardo UK Ltd with responsibility for EW Sensors, setting the future direction for research and development of sensor technologies, and allowing her to continue to influence the operational use and capability of this equipment.

Unpowered decoys, flares and chaff all have physics problems that should be trivial to ignore:
- Flares & decoys will decelerate along a parabolic path. Not very hard to filter out.
- Flares don't work at all against imaging IR seekers (which is to say against China nor Russia).
- Chaff has massive surface area & minimal weight, and will decelerate massively before falling slowly (again, easy to filter).
Targeting radar is always doing bayesian calculations of the set of possible ways a vehicle could move.
A jet traveling 300+ MPH can't decelerate like any of those devices will.
I feel like the lecture discussed principles through the early 1980s (and only _mentioned_ newer projects)...
At least until the Q&A. I really wish I were there however, I'd love to have asked about the above challenges and:
- Why can't radar use frequency [patterns] to identify it's signal / return against a background of noise.
I'd strongly recommend the channel _Millennium 7 * HistoryTech_ as it's very, very educational.
This feels like wannabe expert being insulted, you even drop the yt channel name...😆.
Chaff blinds the radar and yeah its not silver bullet even when notching but the missile fired dozens of km away cant afford small mistakes that makes it miss by 50m.
Flares aren't super effective against modern missiles when they locked you but pre flaring can deny the lock in the first place, besides, there is still chance of confusing even modern missiles.
Fox 2 being too fast, close and basically undetectable on most planes unless pilot expects it, means flares are used 80 percent of the time as precaution.
Calculating position of the target doesn't mean its 100 percent there and as far as ground clutter radar noise, i dont think the frequency matters cause you know... it is noise.
I play sims like dcs, as you prob also, so it shouldn't be surprise that chaff and flares do nothing on their own without some strategic positioning and kinematic defense.
See, i am also wannabe expert.
A great presentation.
I am a proud sub contractor to Leonardo’s infrared countermeasure system.
Thanks for the wonderful presentation. ❤
Was the vacuum gag a sly Millennium *7 reference?
What a great presentation, I even understood a lot of that. LOL
how sensitive information can be done on instruments that are on my system .....does it look clerical ??
Mr cheese
I counted 524 uses of the word “bit”. Other than that, good presentation.
it is not possible to survive for three decades ....in the same university for .....Russians without ....sarees .........
Very nice! I am doing an EPQ on NATO jet fighters, so some things here were very useful!
This feels classified but i bet the people that want to know these already know
And with A.I , i think tracking and signals intelligence is going to go to a whole new level
I'm currently being targeted by electromagnetic radiation microwaves, and narcissism is involved, and the targeted justice team is in the early stages of putting together a lawsuit. God-bless.
I'm sincerely sorry you're having... troubles.
I pray you find peace.
@KeepZeeZ thanks. psalm23 and psalm91 the strongest prayers in the Bible. God-bless.
@@dougstobaugh376 🙂 Hebrews 12 (v4-13) being another good one...

1:40 - - overview - - presentation on electronic warfare
Are Electronic Counter Measures capable of countering laser emitting or microwave systems?
Most anti-air weapons use radar to detect and track targets; ECM still applies there. Some systems can use optical tracking - lasers might as well do this, a few SAMs do it already (SA-11 can), but simply for detecting the presence of an aircraft you need radar, or else you’re mostly just sticking you head out and looking around for planes, it’s not that effective.

Could you please share a downloadable link of this presentation, please?
sorry mahira vasudeva , reboot
lol use google. It takes me 3 seconds to start DL of any youtube video. e.g. Tubemate is great for android. Not on playstore ofc.
If you can see it on your screen btw you have actually downloaded it.
Do you call a full scale war in the middle of Europe „ a Conflict“ ???? I thought that a conflict can happen in an outlook calendar but not at the place were cities are leveled and civilians are bombarded…
These people live in the MIC (military industrial complex). They work there for "private" companies owned by intel and big money from politicians and banks.
These are the people that create wars for profit. They are the enemy of the people on this globe.
the only individual talent in this field is the only one who can see and imagine the unseen ☺
Ah cowards of the MIC deleted my comment. No worries M8 Karma will always get you.
