2nd Annual Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Summit

"Dominating the Next Phase of EMS Warfare"

Where: Mary M Gates Learning Center,  Alexandria, VA

DSI’s Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Summit is designed as an educational and training “Town Hall” forum, where thought leaders and key policy-makers across U.S. military and U.S. civilian organizations can come together for actionable discussions and debate. The Summit will focus on Supporting capabilities & technology that enables full spectrum operations within any domain.

Why Should You Attend Our Summit?

The 2016 Electromagnetic Spectrum Summit will focus on new concepts, technologies and challenges that exist within the constantly evolving domain of electromagnetic spectrum operations.

DOD’s growing requirements to gather, analyze, and share information rapidly require the DOD to maintain sufficient spectrum access. Adversaries are aggressively developing and fielding electronic attack (EA) and cyberspace technologies that significantly reduce the ability of DOD to access the spectrum and conduct military operations. Concurrently, the global wireless broadband industry and consumer demand for greater mobility and better data access puts a further strain on DOD operations occurring within the electromagnetic spectrum. These competing requirements for finite spectrum resources have changed the spectrum landscape, nationally and internationally for the foreseeable future.

This educational summit provides US military commands, government agencies, academia, and technology providers the opportunity to participate in an open discussion addressing the current and future needs that exist for government operations occurring within the electromagnetic spectrum.
