April 13-14: 2010 Capitol Hill Awareness Day -- POSTPONED
The AOC regrets to announce that the 2010 Capitol Hill Awareness Day (CHAD), scheduled for April 13-14, has been postponed until further notice. The event will be rescheduled in the coming months. Please note, however, that the AOC Capital Chapter Multi-National Forum will be held as scheduled on April 13, from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. See item below for details. The purpose of CHAD is to train AOC members to effectively communicate to Congress. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts and developments in pertinent EW-related issues for which CHAD is geared to raise awareness, it has been determined that the originally scheduled dates for CHAD were not optimal and significantly limited the effectiveness of the event. CHAD remains an important part of the AOC Advocacy Program and the AOC looks forward to rescheduling the event at an appropriate time. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact AOC Director of Government & Industry Affairs Ken Miller at kmiller@crows.org or (703) 549-1600. We apologize for the inconvenience.

In Berlin, Germany, the global event for EW - held in collaboration with the AOC and strongly supported by European and international industry.Military helicopters have sophisticated electronic countermeasures to detect and defend against surface-to-air missiles by jamming or fooling the seekers that guide the missiles to target. Now the Pentagon's far-out research arm wants to take things a step further, by protecting against unguided - but equally dangerous - small arms fire. (Wired) Royal Australian Air Force officials say they will bridge the widening gap until the arrival of the delayed Joint Strike Fighter by keeping the Boeing F/A-18F fleet in lockstep with US Navy upgrades as well as continuing updates to its "classic" Hornet fleet.
