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...

This webinar is intended for an audience that wants to gain additional knowledge about tactical electronic support measures (ESM) technology and procedures. We will discuss Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) including its two components Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) and Communications Intelligence (COMINT). We will present applications of ELINT. We’ll discuss SIGINT platforms including aircraft, spacecraft, and ships. The ESM search challen...

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-...

Low signal strength, open specifications, and advances in software defined radios have made imitating GPS and other satnav systems within the grasp of relatively unsophisticated bad actors. Mr. Goward will discuss the rapid development of GPS signal deception over the last ten years and what receiver manufacturers and the US government are doing about it.

The importance of electromagnetic spectrum operations cannot be overemphasized; it empowers All-Domain Operations, an integrated and synchronized application of capabilities across all warfighting domains. Awareness and understanding of the electromagnetic spectrum, its properties, and the need to command and control effects within it are necessary to fully strategize, plan, and decisively execute any mission, anywhere in the world. An advanta...

We are living in exciting and amazing times in which AI is reshaping the future and transforming our lives – in many good ways. What has made these AI advances possible is not only the AI Innovative technologies that have matured but the convergence of AI with multiple innovative technologies that unleash new, unprecedented waves of transformation. These technologies include computational power, 5G, Internet of Things, augmented reality,...

We've all been there. The EW system worked beautifully in the lab. It passed all engineering tests and simulator-in-the-loop scenarios. But when you took it to the range, the system failed to meet expectations and requirements. Something was different - but what? Was it the live environment? Were the targets configured improperly? Did the system even really work in the first place? Why weren't these issues discovered during lab tests? There we...

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.

From the beginning, 3GPP’s 5G New Radio standard addresses a triangle of applications, namely enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine-type communication (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC). The requirements for the later, driven initially by the two market verticals of industrial internet of things (IIoT) and automotive, will be beneficial for the use case of 5G for mission-critical communication. In th...

Radar systems are able to detect, track, and measure minuscule targets at stupendous ranges. One of the techniques exploited to achieve this is the combination of multiple returns from a single target in a manner similar to that used when sampling signals. But as seen in a previous webinar, sampling is linked to ambiguities - cases where the true properties of a signal cannot be unambiguously determined - and the same is true of radar systems....
