SIGNALS INTELLIGENCE & ELECTRONIC WARFARE
The Signals Intelligence track provides both foundational and advanced training, offering soldiers and civilians opportunities to earn professional credentials. It is a strategic initiative developed in partnership with the Army to support unclassified Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) training and education. The curriculum emphasizes the principles of SIGINT and EW in supporting strategic and operational decision-making.
Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare Emphasis Area Electives
Provides a methodology for analyzing networks by examining the network at its infrastructure, network and applications layers; exploring how they transfer data; investigating how network protocols work to enable communication; and probing and analyzing how the lower-level network layers support the upper ones. Students will use hands-on labs and exercises to investigate and analyze network fundamentals.
INTV 351 is an elective course that will provide students an in-depth look at Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Electronic Warfare (EW) from a strategic, operational, tactical, and technological aspect, including the role of electromagnetic energy in SIGINT and EW operations. Students will use a combination of assessments, research, and practical exercise to gain a holistic view of SIGINT and EW applications in the National Intelligence Enterprise.
INTV460 provides an in-depth exploration of radio frequency (RF) signal analysis. Students will learn to conduct comprehensive signal surveys, perform real-time and offline spectrum analysis, and utilize advanced techniques for signal detection, extraction, filtering, demodulation, decoding, and information retrieval. The course combines theoretical knowledge with extensive hands-on experience, preparing students for careers in signal intelligence and electronic warfare.
Provides an introduction to wireless networking, mobile device hardware and software architectures as well as the application of security fundamentals for mobile computing systems. Students will be able to describe user associations and routing in a cellular/mobile network, interaction of elements within the cellular/mobile core, and end-to-end delivery of a packet and/or signal and what happens with the hand-off at each step along the communications path. They will be able to explain differences in core architecture between different generations of cellular and mobile network technologies.
