The Electronic Warfare Competition encourages the development of innovative solutions aimed at the effective use and control of the electromagnetic spectrum. Within the scope of the competition, participants are expected to design and develop systems capable of detecting and analyzing various communication signals and, when required, intervening in these signals. In this context, teams work on core electronic warfare capabilities such as signal detection, direction finding and geolocation, jamming, and spoofing, and demonstrate their developed solutions under realistic field scenarios. The competition aims to foster analytical thinking, system-level design competence, and field implementation skills among young engineering candidates through an integrated approach.
The competition is open to associate degree, undergraduate, and graduate students studying in Türkiye and abroad.
