L20 — Project 2 Presentations

L20 — Project 2 Presentations#

Block 2 closes with your results. Each group briefs its standoff geolocation design to the strike cell, HW2 comes due, and Quiz 2 checks that the project's physics stuck.

Presentation logistics#

  • 10 minutes of group results presentation plus 5 minutes of Q&A.

  • Every member speaks.

  • Slides (PDF) and the team’s code are due before class starts — every analysis script, runnable from the issued bundle, with a header naming who wrote it; and if any AI was used to help write code, a copy of or link to every chat transcript goes in with the code (the handout’s Use of AI paragraph sets the rule: AI may help turn your ideas into code, it may not solve the project, and every member must own every line). Late deliverables require coordination at least 24 hours in advance; non-coordinated late submissions receive a zero.

  • The audience is the strike cell: lead with the recommendation, support it with your collection geometry and the fixes-with-ellipses picture, and be ready to defend the accuracy-versus-standoff trade — which emitters met the \(\mathrm{CEP} \le 0.5\) km spec and which did not.

  • Two bonuses, +5% each: an innovation bonus for analysis or visualization that goes meaningfully beyond the tasking, and an accuracy bonus for the one team whose three reported fixes have the smallest total radial error against the true positions (budget and keep-outs honored, seed and code reproduce the fixes) — see the handout.

Also due today#

  • HW2 — RF Electronic Warfare is due at the start of class. Individual work; see HW2.

  • Quiz 2 is taken in class: open book, 15 minutes, individual. It covers your project work and the Block 2 topics (L11–L18). If you did the project honestly, the quiz is a victory lap.

What’s next#

Block 2 is complete: you can listen to a threat, locate it from standoff, protect your own use of the spectrum, and attack the enemy’s. Block 3 — IR EW and Signature Management turns to the infrared half of the survivability problem: heat-seeking threats, missile seekers, countermeasures, and signature reduction.
