A program providing research experiences and workshops in electronic warfare will be provided to ROTC cadets at NC State University and at neighboring colleges with the aim of presenting EW-focused workshops to all ROTC cadets at NC State University and close-by institutions. We will develop a research program for ROTC cadets in Electrical Engineering during the semester for NC State-based cadets and during the summer available to any US ROTC cadet. The emphasis will be on research experiences in wireless communication, radios, radars and sensors with the level of experience adapted to background. Students will learn how the range of architectures used in radios, radars and sensors; their vulnerabilities; how to identify vulnerabilities, and how they can be adapted to mitigate effects.
