Aerospace and Electronic Systems Magazine December 2016 - Cover2

This Month's Covers....
Front Cover: The logo for the Waveform Diversity Working Group that was designed in 2003 by Ellen Kennedy and Patty
Woodard is displayed here on a background photo of the entryway to the Radar Innovations Laboratory, Advanced Radar Research Center at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK USA. Read an article from this group on the application of waveform
weighting by Uysal, et al. The article appears on pages 4-12 in this issue.
Back Cover: Pictured is the radar RF module of the Cognitive Radar Engineering Workspace (CREW) System. CREW was designed to explore and evaluate as wide a variety of cognitive radar concepts as possible. Read about the CREW System and
some of the first experimental results from this cognitive radar in the article by Smith, et al. on pages 34-46 in this issue.

IEEE AESS Society
The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society is a society, within the framework of the IEEE, of members with professional
interests in the organization, design, development, integration and operation of complex systems for space, air, ocean, or ground
environments. These systems include, but are not limited to, navigation, avionics, spacecraft, aerospace power, mobile electric
power & electronics, military, law enforcement, radar, sonar, telemetry, defense, transportation, automatic test, simulators, and
command & control. Many members are concerned with the practice of system engineering. All members of the IEEE are eligible
for membership in the Society and receive the Society magazine Systems upon payment of the annual Society membership fee.
The Transactions are unbundled, online only, and available at an additional fee. For information on joining, write to the IEEE at
