    June 2026 AOC-APG Lunch & Learn: EW Environmental Generation Engineering

    Date: 03 June 2026

    Time: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

    Venue: CACI Main Conference Room, 6240 Guardian Gateway, Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD

    Title: “EW Environmental Generation Engineering”

    Description:

    Simulating an electromagnetic environment relevant for testing electronic warfare devices is a challenging engineering problem that is full of trade-offs and design complexity. This multi-part presentation series will walk the audience through common engineering challenges and design considerations to help the test engineer be more knowledgeable about the complexities of creating an EW environment. The next generation of EW devices and platforms bring new difficulties: modern threats get faster, more agile, and more complex. The testing challenges for our friendly devices scale accordingly with these modern threat enhancements. This presentation series is meant to frame those problems and allow the test engineer to consider multiple possible solutions, the engineering design trade-offs of each one, and to go about more intelligently solving these environmental generation test challenges in the future.
