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...

This webinar will review some of the foundational concepts of space warfare, illustrate some of the previous space wars or space “incidents” that have occurred in the past, and go into detail of the various space attacks that have been occurring due to the Ukrainian conflict starting in 2014 until the present day.

Today’s wars in Ukraine and Israel highlight the criticality of sensing and understanding on the battlefield. Despite ubiquitous satellite, airborne, and terrestrial surveillance, combatants on both sides of these conflicts have been surprised, with sometimes catastrophic results. The US military should embrace the resulting lessons as it considers how to counter Chinese forces in China’s own back yard. Survival in this highly-cont...

Our adversaries have developed an impressive array of upgrades to the threats we face; they are designed specifically to overcome the ways our Electronic Warfare systems have been so successful for so many years. This webinar covers the nature of those upgrades and generally what we are required to do to overcome them. The new threat generation(s) have longer range – making stand-off jamming more difficult. They also have significant ele...

Considering EW as one’s academic field can - and in the presenter's experience does - lead to questions related to one’s sanity, this webinar will argue that EW is actually an excellent vehicle for research, and especially, teaching - the traditional tasks of academia. There is a surprisingly large number of publications on EW topics in the open literature. Some examples of such topics will be considered, along with some interestin...

This presentation describes some of the challenges associated with testing the performance of Cognitive Electronic Warfare (CogEW) systems. CogEW incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables EW systems to respond more quickly and effectively to real-world conditions with complex and novel emitters; these systems learn post-deployment from novel experiences in the field. Cognitive capabilities will force multiple paradigm shifts from legac...
