REWST is aimed at aircrew and electronic warfare professionals, who will become the subject matter experts within their units on radar focussed EW.
This course provides an introduction to the technical characteristics of radar and EW systems, how they are quantified, and how to use this information to plan EW operations. At the completion of the two weeks students will be able to understand ELINT, develop an electronic order of battle, and create electronic attack/protection plans based on this information.
A selection of the REWST course material is published here:
The ability to gather Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) on radar signals is a very useful skill in helping to understand their properties, and then design electronic attacks.
This video covers the use of Keysight's 89600B Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software to gather ELINT on radar signals. At the end of the presentation you will be able to completely characterize a variety of pulsed and continuous wave radar signals. The results can then be used to form pulse descriptor words, or design jamming waveforms.
The lab document is available here. The signal data files can be downloaded here.
As radar systems have advanced, so have the waveforms, with an increasing focus on Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) and Low Probability of Detection (LPD) systems.
This video discusses, using the 89600B software, the characteristics of modern LPI/LPD waveforms, and how to recognize them. Included are examples of FMCW radar, Barker codes, FSK, Costas codes, and spot jamming.

The ability to gather Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) on communications is a very useful skill in helping to understand them. This presentation was created with that goal in mind.
This video covers the use of Keysight's 89600B Vector Signal Analysis (VSA) software to gather ELINT on communication signals. At the end of the video you will be able to take a completely characterize an unknown complex communications signal, describe its characteristics, and demodulate it. The result is a bit stream in binary or hex of the received data.
The lab document is available here. The signal data files can be downloaded here.
