Modeling and Simulation is extremely useful to the field of Electronic Warfare. It includes computer modeling for engagement analysis, simulation for training and simulation for test and evaluation of systems, and subsystems. This webinar introduces all of these applications. After covering basic definitions, the webinar focuses on some important modeling and simulation principles:

- What level of fidelity is required in a model and in a simulator (for training and for test and evaluation)?
- How is simulation most effectively applied to the selection of approaches?
- How does simulation enhance the training of commanders, operators and maintainers?
- How is simulation most effectively applied to test and evaluation?
- How can signals be introduced into an EW system for the evaluation of systems and subsystems during the testing process?
- How are system components modeled?
- How are interactions between threats and EW systems represented mathematically?
