Across our portfolio of advanced warfighting capabilities, we have trouble seeing the causes of our shared problems due to a long-standing fixation on their symptoms. While our individual technologies are indeed exceptional, our philosophy is becoming obsolete and so our approach is becoming deficient for our circumstances. The Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS), or simply the Spectrum, is no less than the totality of all radiant EM energy, for ev...

Although the term Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is often used interchangeably with both Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and “drone,” a UAS is a “system” of three parts, with UAV or “drone” referring to the aircraft itself. In addition to the aircraft, the UAS includes the control station and the communication link between the control station and the aircraft. It is this communications link that is often the p...

As Department of Defence undertakings go, the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system is one of the most ambitious. Put simply, the initiative has two key ambitions: Firstly, It will smash stovepipe walls separating the US' armed services' C2 systems. Secondly, it will greatly accelerate the pace at which information can be shared between services across the battlespace. In short, the JADC2 represents an ambitious effort to embrace...

Missiles provide the essential accuracy and standoff range capabilities that are required in modern warfare. Technologies for missiles are rapidly emerging, resulting in the frequent introduction of new missile systems. The capability to meet the requirements for missile survivability is especially important for long range missiles. This presentation provides an overview of the broad range of alternatives in satisfying missile requirements for...

Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery warned that losing the war in the air would cost the war itself. Over the best part of a century, airpower has defined conflict. The failure to win and sustain air superiority and supremacy makes victory at best difficult, and at worst impossible. The need to secure Electromagnetic Superiority and Supremacy (E2S) will have a similar effect on the wars of tomorrow. Forces failing to win and hold E2S while denyin...

Learn from subject matter experts and influencers from military, government, academia and industry who will speak to a multitude of topics around this year's theme. Whether it is from a main stage keynoter, or a breakout session panelist, plan to walk away equipped with the latest developments in technology and governance in pursuit of EMS capability superiority. Gain exposure to a show floor brimming with cutting edge technologies and service...

The US military establishment is playing catchup inside the EW sector, with large defense contractors and military test centers scrambling to test and field the best sensor systems to fight against near-peer competitors. While US defense companies develop products against a hypothetical contested spectrum (Baltics, South China Sea), companies in Europe deploy solutions that must work immediately in contested civil/military spectrums, everyday....

Cognitive Electronic Warfare (EW) systems are of critical importance to the future of EW, but despite this the underlying technologies are poorly understood. The goal of this webinar is to outline the architecture of modern cognitive EW systems, and the relevant technologies. Specifically, how Reinforcement Learning works, using a variety of mechanisms to develop a sense, act, reward cycle to explore the solutions space. The webinar will concl...

"With today’s increasingly sophisticated threats in the global defense battlefield and the proliferation of Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD), technology must rise to meet the challenge of complex missions – particularly for those operating across the electromagnetic spectrum. These missions call for ‘smart’ systems that address multiple threats and perform simultaneous functions, meaning that they need to be adaptive, mu...

The quantum “space race” is officially upon us. Worldwide commercial, university and government entities are accelerating development to build functioning quantum technologies with the potential to revolutionize computing and communication applications. At the heart of quantum lies the qubit, a quantum version of the classical bit realized as a two-level system of simultaneous states of 1 and 0. Researchers alike are studying qubit...
