Cognitive Electronic Warfare: An Artificial Intelligence Approach (1st Edition)
Published by Artech House, this book offers a comprehensive guide to applying AI techniques in EW systems—situation assessment, decision making, and in-mission reinforcement learning.
Karen Zita Haigh and Julia Andrusenko (2021)
This comprehensive book gives an overview of how cognitive systems and artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in electronic warfare (EW). Readers will learn how EW systems respond more quickly and effectively to battlefield conditions where sophisticated radars and spectrum congestion put a high priority on EW systems that can characterize and classify novel waveforms, discern intent, and devise and test countermeasures. Specific techniques are covered for optimizing a cognitive EW system and evaluating its ability to learn new information in real time.
The book presents AI for electronic support (ES), including characterization, classification, patterns of life, and intent recognition. The book presents decision-making techniques for electronic protect (EP), electronic attack (EA), and electronic battle management (EBM), including optimization techniques, temporal tradeoffs, and distributed coordination. The book covers real-time in-mission learning, motivates why this capability is crucial, and describes how to evaluate a system that learns during a mission. The book also covers data management and system architecture concepts.
Written by experts with first-hand experience in AI-based EW, this is the first book on in-mission real-time learning and optimization for EW.
