Collaborative Warfare is driving all aspects of modern warfare into a new reality. To achieve efficient situational awareness (SA), effective mission planning, coordination and execution requires a new integrated and cooperative paradigm to achieve battlefield superiority. The employment of coordinated cyber capabilities as well as distributed and cognitive networked EW systems must be selected carefully to deliver the best mission effectivene...

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...

The Invisible Battlefield: Deterrence during Competition, Dominance throughout Conflict Electromagnetic spectrum dominance is the new high ground as the US Army faces an array of threats from China, Russia, and other near-peer adversaries. Whether it be deterrence in the early competition phase, or dominance throughout conflict, the invisible, complex, and congested electromagnetic spectrum will be where future battles are won or lost. Come jo...

"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...

As people with common interests in Electronic Warfare (EW), Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO), Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), Information Operations (IO), and other information related capabilities, we’re all very familiar with the idea of Simulation. By creating a small copy of reality on which to practice with high focus, freedom from consequences and practical reflection, we can save time, money and even lives. This...
