Cognitive Electronic Warfare: An AI Approach

This course will cover how artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in electronic warfare (EW). AI enables EW systems to respond more quickly and effectively to battlefield conditions with complex and novel emitters. The course will discuss AI-based situation assessment techniques for electronic support (ES), including characterization, classification, patterns of life, and intent recognition. The course will cover decision- making techniques for electronic protect (EP), electronic attack (EA), and electronic battle management (EBM), including optimization, temporal tradeoffs, and distributed coordination. The course will describe how to handle real-time in-mission learning, motivate why this capability is crucial, and discuss how to evaluate a system that learns during a mission. It will cover data management approaches and system architecture. The course is based on the book "Cognitive Electronic Warfare: An Artificial Intelligence Approach"
