During July and August 2026, EW Analytics LLC took on a part-time intern to help the company conduct what it calls CASE research. CASE is an acronym created by EW Analytics LLC which stands for Characterization and Analysis of Shortwave Emissions.  CASE research applies Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)-related knowledge and tools to help identify and understand shortwave radio signals associated with international activity.

The intern (Isaac) is a senior who attends high school in northern Virginia. During the internship Issac became proficient with using the KiwiSDR Internet-based software application. The KiwiSDR app allows users to tune software-defined radios (SDRs) located across the globe in order to listen to shortwave (i.e., High Frequency (HF)) radio signals and to observe/monitor their technical characteristics (to include decoding morse code if present). The geographic area of interest for the internship was the Arctic where significant environmental and military activity is occurring. As a result of the internship, EW Analytics LLC increased its knowledge of signal activity of interest in the Arctic and the intern was introduced to the process of conducting STEM-based research.

During 2025 and into 2026, EW Analytics LLC shared its research findings with members of several NATO nation military organizations; to include branches within the Netherlands Ministry of Defense (MOD).

 In mid-April 2024, the proprietor of EW Analytics LLC  attended a  two day NATO conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands entitled "AI/ML for Cognitive Radar" (aka "SET-318").

This conference was sponsored by the NATO Science and Technology Office (STO) and organized by the STO's Sensor and Electronics Technology (SET) Panel. 

The conference was open to individuals from NATO member countries and  from Australia, Japan and Switzerland and was held at the Marine Establishment  in Amsterdam. 

Presenters included one American, several Dutch, German, German and Italian individuals from industry and academia and, of most relevance to EW Analytics LLC, the Scientific Director of a Defense Research Center of a NATO member country.

The Director's presentation at the conference  was titled "AI-Based EW Against Modern Radars" and while brief (as were all the presentations), it provided a good perspective on EW as it currently affects NATO countries. 

Given the Director's EW experience, the proprietor of EW Analytics LLC engaged the Director in a productive post-conference exchange about "stealth radar" capabilities (a current research subject of EW Analytics LLC); thus making attendance at the conference a worthwhile investment.  Based on this experience it is concluded that attendance at similar NATO/STO conferences in the future may also be beneficial to EW Analytics LLC and to NATO as well.

In early March 2022, the proprietor of EW Analytics LLC traveled to London, UK and met with Dr. Sue Robertson, the author of the book “Practical ESM Analysis” (published by Artech House (Boston, London). In this book, Dr. Robertson describes all aspects of Electronic Support Measures (ESM) systems including the collection of radar signals of interest, deinterleaving, signal geolocation, track correlation and signal identification.

Dr. Robertson has extensive knowledge of, and experience with, ESM systems and she shares her ESM expertise in this book through easy-to-understand text and illustrations and through the inclusion of numerous mathematical formulas and example data sets (which further help the reader understand the functions being described).

The result is a book that can serve as an easily accessible technical reference source for ESM engineers and analysts as well as a great introduction for people who need/want to “get up to speed” on ESM. And perhaps equally of note, “Practical ESM Analysis” can also serve as a source of inspiration for research and development; as it undoubtedly will at EW Analytics LLC.
