Communications Electronic Warfare

This PgCert examines electronic warfare as it applies to military communications systems. It covers how such systems are specified, analysed, developed, procured and managed. The course assumes a working understanding of communications before turning to how those systems can be defended against attack or interception. The course is aimed at those who work with military communications in practice. Teaching uses lectures, laboratory demonstrations and tutorials, with practical work reinforcing the theory. The course is part-time over two years and is intended for officers and technical staff in defence and industry. Graduates come away with a deep grasp of military comms and sensor systems, including their electronic warfare dimensions. The certificate supports careers in defence procurement, technical management and system operation. Graduates apply this understanding in roles that depend on secure and resilient communications.
