U.S. electromagnetic warfare capabilities and concepts evolved in the three decades since the Cold War to support defensive missions against relatively unsophisticated threats. The bulk of DoD electromagnetic attack (EA) investment went to improved versions of self-defense systems such as the F-15 EPAWSS, SLQ-32 SEWIP, and Next Generation Jammer while electromagnetic protection (EP) focused on hardening radars and communications against exploi...

In the Flat Field: Did Russian Army Electronic Warfare underperform in Ukraine? Since the Russian government began to overhaul its military early last decade, fears in NATO and allied nations have deepened over the efficacy of its army's electronic warfare systems. New capabilities have been deployed and supported previous Russian military adventures in Georgia, Ukraine and Syria with seemingly great effect. The world's media has shared photog...

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 Royal Air Force’s Bomber Command had finished the Second World War in proud possession of 100 Group. This was the world’s first dedicated, holistic offensive counter-air unit. 100 Group was tasked with attriting the radars, radio communications and radio navigation systems used by the Luftwaffe’s Integrated Air Defence System (IADS). No sooner had the war finished, than 100 Group disbanded. As the Cold War chilled, Bombe...

All sessions will be held at the Secret US Only level Registration will be VERY limited for this conference – we are looking at approximately 115 spots. Therefore this will sell out very quickly. AOC is sponsoring a two-day conference in Huntsville, AL, with classified presentations on the most recent analysis of advanced and emerging worldwide manportable air defense systems (MANPADS) and electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) guided surface-...
