ROTC Research Experiences in Naval Electronic Warfare (RENEW)
Abstract
Research experiences in electronic warfare (RENEW) will be provided to ROTC cadets at NC State University, neighboring universities and nationally through summer workshops at NC State University. The aim of the program is to present electronic warfare (EW) focused, problem solving experiences to ROTC cadets and expose them to challenges in the areas of wireless communication, radios, radars and sensing with the level of experience adapted to each cadetsbackground. The Naval and Marine Corps ROTC program at NC State has 80 cadets with an additional 76 cadets at adjacent campus. Various aspects of the program will be delivered to the more than 550 cadets in the Naval/Marine Corps, Army and Air Force ROTC programs at NC State and those at Duke University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and NC Central University (all within 20 miles). The program will range from small groups of ROTC cadets working long-term in research projects during the semester leading to publications, to design-oriented senior design projects for 35 person multidisciplinary ROTC teams, to workshop experiences in rapid research approaches to solving communication problems. All of the experiences will be tailored to have an electronic warfare (EW) focus. The workshops will be customized and documented so that they can be reused at NC State and other US ROTC programs after this one year program. There will be two levelsof offerings tailored to those with basic engineering skills and those with more advanced electrical engineering skills. Participants are expected to gain significant exposure to topics in EW, RF electronics, and sensing and increasing the understanding of the military relevance of these technologies.
