Radar simulator to define requirements from a weapons system or pilots perspective
AESA Radar Theory and Operations
Learn from a world class engineer, with over five decades of Radar experience to design an AESA Fighter Radar mode suite from the requirements up and become productive in AESA Radar engineering.
This intense 40Hr seminar, which took over 15,000 man-hours to produce, concentrates on the most difficult, most important and least understood designs for an AESA Radar integrated in a weapons system, operating in a hostile war-time environment.
Adaptive, "Optimal" Search and Track automatic waveform designer
"Optimal" 3DOF-Kalman and 6DOF FIR estimators for Multi-Target Track
SAR and 3d SAR with lighting & image enhancements for target recognition
Free of constrictive security measures: Based on unclassified open source references, the author's extensive practical experience, and non-proprietary fundamental principles that don't change over time.
Proven value: Presented 20 times to new hires and experienced engineers with advanced degrees, actively engaged in AESA Radar mode development.
Excellent artwork: Includes animations, GIFs, hover-over acronym explanations, and integrated spreadsheets to facilitate hands-on learning with challenging calculations.
Design details: Top level designs are presented in class, but hyperlinks to an electronic book drill down to the details, simulations, and software reflecting Einsteins sentiments: "... You have to know where to go to find it when you need it."
Mature material: The seminar has constantly evolved over the past two decades, based on student feedback, and has been thoroughly revised on three occasions with updated content. The electronic book, particularly the chapters on kinematics, linear estimation, and matrix optimization, serves as a significant resource for any AESA engineer.
Rapid Prototyping Tools:
1000 page Hands-On electronic book on all the class material hyperlinked to the PowerPoint slides.
Hundreds of simulations and user programmable procedures for solving difficult AESA problems.
CAD automatic waveform design spreadsheet - for optimizing search and track waveforms in a rapidly changing environment.
Extensive list of open-source references on all class material.

With the Mathcad 15.0 software development environment installed on your computer, you can view and interact with the 1000 page electronic book on all the class material as it was originally designed. All calculations are live, and the reader can change parameters or insert new equations for rapid prototyping of modified designs.
An HTML version of the electronic book provides quick navigation to all of its eighteen chapters from hyperlinks in the PowerPoint slides and immediate access to design details, software and summaries. With tools like Browser AI search (Google Lens), readers can instantly look up unfamiliar terms or concepts directly from the text, while generative AI summaries (Co-Pilot) offer concise chapter overviews to enhance understanding. It is the way of the future for electronic books.
For compatibility purposes a PDF version of the book is provided (see left panel) that is similar to a hard copy book. It is fully compatible with Adobe Reader and its addons - search, print, AI tools etc.
