CALL FOR PAPERS: EW Singapore 2018, January 30-31
We
live in a time of increasing uncertainty on many fronts. Threats,
challenges and opportunities are rising. Technology is accelerating. The world is undoubtedly changing and in unforeseen ways. In terms of
future warfare, national forces are being re-shaped and re-equipped to
face an operational manoeuvre space that will be complex and connected,
but constrained. It may well be chaotic unless the right, informed
choices are made now. The Asia-Pacific region is one of the most vital
areas in the world and the focus of much change, but also of
uncertainty. In terms of EW and electromagnetic operations, how can we
make sense of these things? AOC EW Singapore will consider the future of
EW and EM Operations in the changing light of current and emerging
threats, including Hybrid Warfare and Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD)
where potential opponents are out-performing the West. It will consider
the possible responses, how thinking and attitudes must change, and
examine the new capabilities that will be required across all lines of
development, by all services, in all countries in the free world. The
Conference will consist of plenary sessions focusing on operations,
defence capability development, and industry inventiveness including
innovation and breakthrough technologies.
