Radar systems play a major role in keeping aircraft and their crew safe from enemy military. Aircrew need to know what’s happening in the air, on the ground and in the water during every second of operations.
That’s where the Electronic warfare specialist comes in. Expert training in radar equipment lets the Electronic Warfare WSOp create an accurate picture of the aircraft’s surroundings, making it easier to watch for attack.
