Webinar: Latest Technologies in Electronic Warfare with NI

Being able to design, prototype and test Electronic Warfare applications fast and accurately is key to Aerospace companies reaching a leading position in the global marketplace. Keeping your aerospace research or industry project on schedule and within budget, while keeping asset failure at a minimum, is a requirement you cannot miss if you want to be a player in this competitive market. Research and Test & Evaluation facilities require cutting edge technologies for emulating complex electromagnetic scenarios based on wideband multichannel acquisition and generation and real-time signal processing of RF/uW signals.

We want to share with you how we are helping companies solve the engineering challenges associated to the modern Radar and EW systems. Please join us and our partners NI and Elettronica for a live session on how Multifunctional and Cognitive sensor capabilities can be operated as software-connected solutions together with function sharing AESA antennas, to allow achieving novel and unprecedented operational capabilities in Radar EW.

Agenda:

• Market Trends and Test Challenges in Radar and EW
• Software Connected Systems: The NI Approach
• Demo – Radar Target Generator and Radar Signal Simulator
• Design, Prototype, and Deploy More effectively with SW defined systems
• Q&A

Join us for this webinar on Thursday, July 16th at 10 am (KSA time) and learn how you can leverage:

• a customizable off-the-shelf platform
• software-defined test systems that help you mitigate the risk and balance the need for new requirements and maintain legacy platforms
• a network of global partners with the right expertise in the Aerospace field
