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...

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 presentation draws attention to practical threat detection and incident response from dissecting advanced ICS adversary threat capabilities, tactics techniques and procedures. Dean will illustrate why the cyber weapons and the techniques may be more important than adversary attribution for tactical ICS incident response.

Coming Soon!

"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...

AUSA’s Noon Report webinar series features presentations by senior Army leaders responsible for key programs and initiatives, as well as contemporary military authors who weave together the past, present and future story of the United States Army. Please join us on Tuesday, 15 February 2022, at 1200 EST, to hear a presentation on warrant officer talent management initiatives approved in the last year along with the future WO Study. The p...

For many years, organizations have relied on the MITRE ATT&CK™ framework as a valuable resource to catalog adversary tactics and techniques. The information security community has leveraged ATT&CK to help guide investigations, write robust detections, and enrich threat intelligence. In June 2021, a cooperation between the National Security Agency (NSA) and MITRE released D3FEND, a complementary framework that provides insight int...

The DOD and the defense electronics industry have been developing the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) technical standard for the past several years. This panel will discuss the next chapter for SOSA: the introduction of SOSA 1.0; how program offices will apply the SOSA standard to radar, EW and SIGINT programs; and most importantly, how SOSA will impact the warfighter.
