6th Annual Electronic Warfare/Cyber Convergence Conference

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE 

Electronic Warfare and Cyberspace technical capabilities are becoming more technically similar. However, the communities which practice these disciplines remain largely separated and vary widely across the military Services in terms of their equipment, unit organization and operating methodologies. This conference provides the EW and Cyberspace communities an opportunity to collaborate and discus capabilities, TTPs and research in EW and Cyberspace operations to enable more rapid deployment of new and improved capabilities. The EW/Cyberspace Convergence Conference identifies ways to develop advanced technologies and systems to address the changing battlefield dynamics of the digital age and bring EW and Cyberspace together for the Warfighter!

Session 2 – EW/Cyber Doctrine & Policy (SECRET)
This session allows updates on evolving policy and doctrine related to cyberspace operations and electronic warfare. Presenters may represent the services, DoD, the Intelligence Community (IC) or other federal agencies involved in protecting Critical Resources and Key Infrastructure (CIKR).

Session 3 – EW/Cyber Operations (TS/SCI)
This session allows for review of ongoing operations within the joint EW and cyber communities by the various service components of USCYBERCOM and combatant commands. This session will ideally take up an entire day and provide insight to the audience on how existing technologies are being employed as well as an understanding of CONOPS and TTPs. Presenters may also come from COCOMs.

Session 4 – Emerging Technologies (TS/SCI)
This session provides an update on the evolution of existing and new technologies being brought to bear on challenges experienced by USCYBERCOM and the COCOMs. Presenters will come from service or joint programs, academia doing research for the U.S. Military or in some cases from industry.

THURSDAY, JUNE 4: 0800-1700

Session 5 – Special Programs (TS/SCI)
This final session of the conference provides a unique perspective into specialized programs that represent new and classified approaches to: cyberspace operations, electronic warfare or the convergence of the two; the use of intelligence; previously unforeseen uses of legacy technology to provide freedom of maneuver in cyberspace and the physical domains of battle.
