Course Description

Review the requirements for testing defense-related radio frequency electronics systems (radar, electronic warfare, communications, and RF-surveillance systems), beginning with a detailed discussion of test & evaluation as it pertains to Department of Defense and U.S. government-systems acquisition processes. Explore laboratory and in-situ testing methods for components, subassemblies, subsystems, systems, and platform (ship, air, space, and ground) level testing.

Who Should Attend

  • Managers
  • Engineers
  • Scientists
