RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY ORGANISATION
LECTURE SERIES
SCI-249
on "Radio Frequency Directed Energy Weapons"
Background
The mission of RTO is to conduct and promote co-operative
research and information exchange. RTO consists of a three level
organization: the Research and Technology Board (RTB), the
Panels and the Technical Teams. The Systems Concepts and
Integration (SCI) Panel is one of the Panels under the RTB.
The Mission of the SCI Panel is to advance knowledge concerning
advanced systems, concepts, integration, engineering techniques
and technologies across the spectrum of platforms and operating
environments to assure cost-effective mission area capabilities.
Theme
sur “les Armes à énergie dirigée à radiofréquences”
organized by the
Systems Concepts and Integration Panel
to be held in
Liptovský Mikuláš (SVK) on 15-16 October 2012
This Lecture Series is open to citizens
from NATO Nations.

For more than two decades, technical teams under the former
NATO Defence Research Group (DRG) and the NATO Research
and Technology Organization (RTO) have conducted studies
concerning the implications and threat of High Power Microwaves
(HPM) to military as well as civilian infrastructure and electronic
equipment. The threat to C4I (Command, Control, Communications,
Computers, and Intelligence) systems is of particular concern due to
the vital importance of such systems.
HPM weapons belong to the more general class of radio frequency
directed energy weapons (RFDEW). Due to the increasing threat
from this emerging technology, there is a need for increasing
awareness of consequences of its use and knowledge about how to
protect against this kind of electronic attacks. The subject is of
relevance to several NATO military long term capability
requirements, notably: Non-Lethal Capability and Network Enabled
Capability. Furthermore, electromagnetic weapons can be
considered part of the future inventory for cyber attacks, and some
of the effects caused by electromagnetic interference could be
confused with effects caused by other means.
The RLS will carry experience and expertise from previous task
group activities into educational efforts on the subject in order to
support the dissemination of knowledge and awareness within
NATO. Starting with some fundamental phenomenology and
theoretical considerations associated with electromagnetic (EM)
fields, the RLS will cover a broad range of topics of relevance to an
audience of attendees interested in getting more familiar with HPM
and RFDEW technologies and the tactical implications thereof.
Topics to be covered include
Phenomenology and basic theory of EM fields;
EM field generation (sources) and detection techniques;
Electromagnetic pulse (EMP);
Test facilities and methodologies;
Modelling and simulation of EM field interaction with
targets;
Application of RF and HPM technologies as directed
energy and non-lethal weapons (DEW and NLW);
Effects of RFW on tactical C4I systems and other critical
infrastructure;
Examples of scenarios and associated threat analysis;
Protective measures.
Thème
Thème
Depuis plus de vingt ans, les équipes techniques au sein de
l’ancien Groupe sur la recherche pour la défense (GRD) et
l’Organisation pour la recherche et la technologie (RTO) de
l’OTAN mènent des études concernant les implications des
micro-ondes à forte puissance (MFP) et la menace qu’elles
représentent pour les infrastructures et équipements
électroniques civils et militaires. La menace qui plane sur les
systèmes C4I (commandement, contrôle, communications,
informatique et renseignement) est particulièrement préoccupante
en raison de l’importance vitale de ces systèmes.
Les armes à MFP entrent dans la catégorie plus générale des
armes à énergie dirigée à radiofréquences (RFDEW). En raison
de la menace croissance de cette technologie émergente, il est
nécessaire de faire connaître les conséquences de son utilisation
et de savoir comment se protéger de ce type d’attaques
électroniques. Ce sujet concerne différents aspects relatifs aux
domaines capacitaires à long terme, en particulier les armes non
létales et les opérations réseaux centrés. En outre, les armes
électromagnétiques peuvent être considérées comme faisant
partie du spectre des armes potentielles pour des attaques de
type
« cyber » et certains effets
des
interférences
électromagnétiques pourraient être confondus avec les effets
d’autres technologies.
Cette série de conférences exploitera l’expérience et l’expertise
des activités d’un groupe de travail précédent à des fins
d’éducation sur le sujet, pour faciliter la diffusion des
connaissances au sein de l’OTAN. À partir de la phénoménologie
fondamentale et de considérations théoriques associées aux
champs électromagnétiques, la série de conférences de la RTO
traitera d’une vaste palette de sujets importants pour un auditoire
souhaitant se familiariser avec les technologies MFP et RFDEW
et leurs implications tactiques.
Les sujets abordés seront notamment :
Phénoménologie et théorie de base des champs
électromagnétiques ;
Production d’un champ électromagnétique (sources) et
techniques de détection ;
Impulsion électromagnétique (IEM) ;
Installations et méthodologies d’essai ;
Modélisation et simulation de l’interaction d’un champ
électromagnétique avec des objectifs ;
Application de technologies RF et MFP sous forme
d’armes à énergie dirigée (DEW) et d’armes non létales
(ANL) ;
Effets des armes à radiofréquences sur les systèmes
C4I et autres infrastructures critiques ;
Exemples de scénarios et analyse des menaces
associées ;
Mesures de protection.
