The 10th annual CEMA Conference comes at a critical inflection point for Electronic Warfare (EW). After a 30+ year hiatus, the Army is on the cusp of fielding a variety of terrestrial and airborne EW capabilities that will reestablish its capabilities within the electromagnetic spectrum. This conference will focus on the pending delivery of these capabilities in support of multi-domain operations (MDO) under large-scale combat operations (LSCO...

US and Coalition Forces in the First Gulf War, 1991, were equipped from deep stockpiles of highly capable kinetic and non-kinetic weapons systems. In contrast, supplying Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine War has challenged weapons stockpiles and supply chains, share-ability/exportability, and trainability across dozens of countries’ militaries. How can we best ensure superior provisioning of warfighting in the EMS for future large scale, and...

Superiority in the electromagnetic spectrum continues to prove itself as a game-changing capability that provides a decisive operational advantage in conflicts worldwide. Integrating and synchronizing EMS operations in every warfighting domain across the entire range of military operations is a clear imperative for our warfighters. But continued success demands that industry, academia, military, governments, and professional associations form...

This webinar will provide an update to the 2019 presenation on this important topic. Dr. Pat Ford will provide attendees with an overview of current sUAS technologies/trends, including advances in payload capabiltiies, mission planning software, and, post mission data analysis/assessment. Additionally, changes to FAA Part 107 regulations will be addressed, including night flight and beyond line of sight (BLOS) operations. If you are considerin...

One of the most common shortcomings of Electronic Surveillance (ES) systems is the failure to accurately determine the Direction of Arrival (DOA) of radar signals. DOA errors typically lead to multiple tracks being created for each radar and to confusion on the Operator’s screen. Contributors to DOA error include equipment considerations, such as ESM antenna separation. These errors are quantifiable and solutions to mitigate such errors...

Dr. Humphreys will discuss his lab's use of a specialized GPS receiver on the International Space Station to detect and locate GPS jammers and spoofers causing trouble around the world.

Are you engaged in international defense business? Steven A. Casazza, President of Defense Trade Solutions will provide an overview of industry obligations and best practices for compliance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). This webinar is designed to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the regulatory framework governing the export and import of defense articles,...

The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) has a role, mandated by Congress, to conduct cyber assessments across the Department. Within the DOT&E Cyber Assessment Program (CAP), there is also a team focused on offensive cyberspace operations (OCO) and Non-Kinetic Effects (NKE). The DOT&E CAP OCO/NKE establishes an annual Campaign Plan to “establish a Cyber Readiness Campaign for OCO/NKE that can inform the Depart...

Hiding from and surprising an opponent are tactics that have been used in warfare throughout history. Radiation absorbent material (RAM) is a material designed and shaped to absorb incident RF energy, making the radar returns from vehicles with RAM, harder to see with air defense radar systems. The better the RAM material and design, the harder it would be to attack the protected platform. The most effective types of RAM are pyramid shaped ane...

This webinar covers intercept and jamming of hostile radars and communications from space and the vulnerability of satellite links to jamming and intercept from the ground. First there is a light coverage of Earth satellite orbit mechanics with just enough depth to support the EW calculations. This includes an overview of the spherical trigonometry involved, orbit relationships, and radio propagation in space. Then, it discusses the calculatio...
