Title: Introduction to Radar Instructor: Mr. Kerry D. Bowers Course Length: 15 hours (2 Days) Skill Level: No Previous Training Required		Introduction to Airborne Radar, 2nd Ed George W. Stimson (Recommended Optional Text)
		Course Description Introduction to Radar is recommended for those desiring a better understanding of radar preparatory to more advanced studies in the subject or practical application in the professional environment. Military and civilian professionals in the following disciplines may benefit from this course - engineers, program and project managers, operations analysts, scientists, intelligence personnel, radar operators, maintenance and test technicians, electronic warfare officers, weather personnel, aviators, battle managers, and combat planners. The course has been designed to train those new to the subject as well as those that may have experience in the field of radar. The instructor, using basic physical sciences and elementary mathematics, leads the participants through each subject area with a building block approach that should facilitate comprehension and retention of the course material. Complementing the instruction is an extensive PowerPoint® presentation filled with Graphics Interchange Format® animations that vividly demonstrate many of the principles addressed in the course. The presentation also includes a demonstration of radar signal recognition using SigRec® software from Research and Development Solutions, Inc. Each attendee will receive a hardcopy of the course slides and a course completion certificate.
