5. Project Brief
‘To design a product that increases EW knowledge;
enhances company awareness and motivates people
to work for Selex ES’
Problems:
• Internal
– The cross department knowledge is low
– Big world picture (Systems Overview)
– Sites work in an isolated fashion with little knowledge and work sharing
– Little celebration of individual and group work within Selex ES
– No off the shelf solution for EW demonstrations at desired level
• External
– University degrees are not tailored to EW
– External knowledge of EW and Selex ES is very poor
– Work is restricted in its nature so not available commercially

23. Why should Engineering companies get involved
with schools and Universities?
“Engineering companies are projected to have
2.56 million job openings from 2012-2022.”
“This means we need to double the number of
engineering apprentices and double the number of
people with engineering qualifications such as
engineering degrees, in order to meet the demand for
engineers.” Tomorrows Engineers
24

24. Why School Children?
“Only 18% of students study A level maths
and only 8% study physics” Questions for governors
“Only 12% of parents would recommend an
engineering career to their son” FFF
“An even lower 2% of parents would
recommend the same to their daughter” FFF
25

Who do we want to be at careers fairs and
school events?

29. Initial Ideas
30
Classic Board Game
• The board would be electronic and interactive.
• The aim is to get your plane from the ‘enemy’ territory to the
homeland
• LED’s turn on, showing positions of enemy RADAR’s
• If you are one space away from an enemy RADAR, press
button to select threat
• Then see which ECM you can use such as BriteCloud,
flares, chaff etc
• If your ECM matches the threat, the threat is neutralised and
you survive the ‘round’

30. Initial Ideas
Reaction Game
• Strips of LEDs leading to a central plane represent different types of threats
• Buttons corresponding to these threats indicate the four different countermeasures
they can release.
• During the game the player presses the button corresponding to the correct strip of
LEDs, and the threats increase in speed
• When the player fails to press the button the ‘Game over’ screen appears and the
player’s time is recorded. Their time and name are then placed on the leader board.
31
Radar Detection Game
• The threats are plugged into the board.
• The player uses the radar screen to guess where the threats could be
placed.
• They type in the grid coordinates.
• When each threat coordinate is found the LED light on the threat turns off
and the player is notified on the laptop screen.
• When all the threats have been found the timer stops and the players
name and time is placed on a leader board.

31. Initial Ideas Evaluation
Positives of Reaction Game
The game could be quick
The game could be visual
The programming was feasible.
The hardware design was feasible
Easy to implement EW knowledge within the game
Negatives of Radar Detection
The programming and hardware wasn’t as feasible
Doesn’t link perfectly to Selex ES
Negatives of Classic Board Game
Would have taken too long to play the game
It wasn’t very modern
It was very Electronic or visual

Intro
Your mission is to protect
the typhoon from the
incoming threats
Do this by deploying the
correct electronic
countermeasure in time
The threats will speed up,
and your score will depend
on how long you last
Good luck!
43

43. BriteCloud
The red lights indicate that
you are being attacked by a
Radio Frequency tracking
missile.
You need to release your
Britecloud, Radio
Frequency deployed decoy.
Red Button!
44

44. Flares
The yellow lights indicate
that you are being attacked
by a Heat seeking missile.
You need to release your
Flares, the heat from the
flares throw the missile off
course.
Yellow
Button!
45

45. Chaff
The Green lights indicate
that you have been
identified by a unknown
radar signal.
You need to release Chaff,
small pieces of metal, used
to cloud the enemy radar
screen.
Green Button!
46

46. DIRCM
The blue lights indicate a
laser following missile is
locked onto your typhoon.
DIRCM deflects IR-Guided
missiles by aiming a laser
back at the threat and
confusing it.

71. BriteCloud
BriteCloud Expendable Active Decoy (EAD)
is a compact, DRFM-based active RF
countermeasure that has the capability to
defeat the majority of RF-guided surface-to-
air and air-to-air threat systems. BriteCloud
is designed to be dispensed from standard
chaff/flare dispensers and therefore
requires minimal platform integration.
Utilising advanced techniques it is effective
against active and semi-active RF seekers,
and fire control radars.

72. HIDAS
Helicopter Integrated Defensive Aids
System (HIDAS) combines a radar and laser
warning receiver, missile warning system
and chaff and flares. It is fitted to UK
Chinook and Puma helicopters, as well as
UK and exported Apache helicopters. Using
multi-spectral sensors and pre-loaded
intelligence to produce comprehensive
tactical pictures of the operational
environment,
