Logicon Electronic Warfare Consultant: an expert system application

The Logicon Electronic Warfare Consultant (LEWC) is an independent research and development proof-of-concept program to develop an expert system for decision support of emitter identification and for providing rapid reprogramming support of EW systems. The program is intended to aid in interpreting intercept message data in relation to a historical database of messages and the US Air Force baselined Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) database. LEWC was developed to validate that an emitter has been correctly identified in an intercept message and to determine the most probable emitter identification for an unknown emitter. The goals, approach, and results of this expert system application are reported.<>
