Cognitive Electronic Warfare: Using AI to Solve EW Problems

Date Presented: 03/23/2023
Speaker: Karen Haigh, PhD consultant in Cognitive EW and embedded AI

Abstract:
This presentation will highlight 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 presentation will touch on AI techniques for electronic support (ES), electronic protect (EP), electronic attack (EA), and electronic battle management (EBM). It will describe how to handle real-time in-mission learning, motivate why this capability is crucial, and present ideas on how to evaluate a system that learns during a mission. The presentation is based on the book “Cognitive Electronic Warfare: An Artificial Intelligence Approach.” https://us.artechhouse.com/Cognitive-Electronic-Warfare-An-Artificial-Intelligence-Approach-P2208.aspx

Speaker’s Bio:
Dr. Karen Haigh is an expert and consultant in Cognitive EW and embedded AI.
