SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVE

This year's unclassified event, in association with USPACOM, will cover the role of Information Operations, Electronic Warfare (EW), Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), EM Spectrum Operations (EMSO), other Information Related Capabilities (IRCs) and AOC mission areas, with specific operational and conceptual focus on the emergent threats and challenges posed by Hybrid Warfare*.  As in previous Pacific events the Symposium will include Global Allies and Partners from around the Pacific region, who will present their unique perspectives. The symposium continues 22 October with a classified working group at the SECRET REL FVEY at HQs U.S. Pacific Command at Camp H.M. Smith.  The agenda and instructions for attendance for the classified working group will be coordinated through official military channels with PACOM J39.

The purpose of the symposium is to bring together government, military, industry, academia, small business and other stakeholders for discussions on the operational challenges facing the practitioners of these IRCs, and to explore possible technological and tactics/procedural solutions. To stimulate wider interest and inquiry into these issues, the symposium and related activities and events will be open to registration by government, industry and academia representatives without regard to their AOC membership status (both AOC Members and non-members may register) except that access of foreign and any other persons may be restricted as necessary in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
