COGNITIVE ELECTRONIC WARFARE (IMAGE) Southwest Research Institute Caption Under a $6.4 million Air Force contract, SwRI is exploring algorithms to advance the Air Force’s cognitive electronic warfare capabilities. Cognitive EW systems accurately detect and respond to unknown enemy radar threats in real time, to disrupt or deceive enemy air defenses such as surface to air missiles or anti-aircraft artillery, as illustrated by the U.S. Air Force F-16 EW training exercise pictured.
