Description

EW made easy - learn from an industry expert

A beginner level comprehensive course that includes step-by-step explanations of core EW concepts along with follow-up commercial datasheet analysing, different warfare scenarios explanations, and excel-sheet calculations to ensure a solid learning for the course taker.

Designed by a EW Engineer expert with a MsC degree, well-experienced as Antenna and System Engineer, and several certifications, this course has been designed to make it extremely simple to learn complex EW concepts.

This course will help you master the major domains reinforcing your EW basics or /and launching a successful career in the EW industry.

Please check out our free samples videos to see our methology ! Complex concepts have been explained in an easy way!

EW4U Akademy offers simple-steps-to-follow-course, always from a practical and professional perspective for all technology topics related to EW. Secondly, and most important, is that we are here to support your learning process, 24/7.

We would like to share and learn all together as a family with a common passion, technology / EW.

Course motivation:

The motivation laying behind creating this course it’s quite unfortunate
As you may have seen on the news, the current conflict Ukraine-Russia is causing several military deployments and social media controversies…there are a lot of -who is having the best military technology- out there
Here below a quote, I would like to point out: wars bring money and money brings developing and technological progress!
Therefore, we came up with this idea to give some light (in a positive manner, from a technological point of view of this conflict) to as many people as possible

Course covering:

EW introduction depicts the overall concept of EW and the theory behind it
ESM, as mentioned in the introduction, is ESM is part of EW technology, therefore we are going to dig in, giving details, implementations, functionalities and real product examples
Proceeding the same way as ESM, we will have next counter measures, ECM, with the same level of details
These two previously mentioned, ESM and ECM, integrated together on any mission, system or platform, covers pretty much the whole EW concept, therefore, they need separated and detailed sections as mentioned before
And last but not least, we will have a look into real, functional products already deployed, trying the break them down, checking details and capabilities
