Rapid advances in electronics are developing radar technology generates new electronic warfare (EW) threats. Effective measures requires integrated radar-based electronic protection (EP) against hostile electronic attacks (EA), advanced electronic support measures (ESM), and emerging electronic counter(counter)measures (EC(C)M).
This Focus Session explores key radar technologies enabling EW solutions, including:

• Active and Passive (meta-materials) engagement measures,
• LPI/LPR techniques and waveform agility,
• Noise radar for anti-jamming and deception resistance,
• SAR/ISAR in EW reconnaissance,
• Adaptive/cognitive radar-EW integration,
• Protection against anti-radiation missiles and seeker countermeasures,
• NATO-aligned concepts for contested electromagnetic environments.

We welcome contributors (theoretical, simulation, experimental) advancing radar-enabled EW capabilities in multi-domain mil. operations.

Session Chairs

Artur Gromek

Artur Gromek, PhD, Senior Assistant Professor @ Warsaw Univ. of Tech.: Received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electronics and telecommunication from the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland in 2006. In 2009, he undertook his Ph.D. studies at the electronics faculty of the Warsaw University of Technology. Since 2010, he has been employed at the Warsaw University of Technology. Previously in 2004, he had practices in the Telecommunications Industry Institute. Later on, in 2005, he was employed for several years as a senior engineering expert in the telecommunication commercial companies. Mr. Gromek is the author/coauthor of more than 70 scientific papers. He was involved in many scientific and commercial projects granted from European and National institutions, in several engaged as project manager and principal researcher. His research interests involve modern radar technology i.e. synthetic aperture radar, noise radar, LPI/LPR radar, remote sensing, and electronic warfare. For years he has been a member of the NATO SET research task groups on modern and future radar technology and EW solutions.

Krzysztof Kulpa

Prof Krzysztof S. Kulpa received the M. Sc., Ph.D. and Dr Sc.: degrees from Department of Electronic Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) in 1982, 1987 and 2009 respectively. From 1985 to 1988 he worked in Institute of Electronic Fundamentals, WUT. In the years 1988-1990 he was Ass. Professor at Electrical Department of Technical University of Białystok. In the period 1990-2005 he worked as scientific consultant in WZR RAWAR. Since 1990 he is Associate Professor at Institute of Electronic Systems (WUT). He is now the head of Digital Signal Processing Laboratory, and head of Radar Technology Research Group at WUT. Since 2011 he is the Scientific Director of Defense and Security Research Center of Warsaw University of Technology. In 2014, he received the Full Professor title from the President of Poland. Currently, Prof. Kulpa is the head of the Radar Technology Research Group and the Scientific Director of the Defense and Security Research Center at WUT. An IEEE Senior Member, a member of AOC and EuMA, he is a chair of the Microwave and Radiolocation section of the Electronics and Telecommunications section of the Polish Academy of Science. Prof. Kulpa published more than 500 papers in international journals and conferences; authored a book entitled “Signal Processing in Noise Waveform Radar” (Artech House, 2013). Prof. Kulpa regularly serves on the Technical Program Committees of several conferences in the field of radar including the International Radar Symposium IRS (co-chair since 2004), European Synthetic Aperture Radar Conference EUSAR, European Radar Conference EURAD, RADARxx, Fusion, Signal Processing Symposium (chairman since 2003). He is an active participant in NATO’s Science and Technology Organization taking part in SET and SCI panels and Specialist Meetings. In 2005, he was the co-director of NATO’s Advanced Study Institute. Currently, he is the Member at Large of the NATO STO SET panel.
