REGISTER NOW! 43rd Annual Collaborative EW Symposium, January 29-31 at Pt. Mugu

As EW warfighting requirements continue to evolve in their complexity and interdependency, it is clear that future EW systems must work collaboratively with other air, ground, surface and space systems, such as cyber, intel, kinetic and spectrum management.

The 43rd Annual Point Mugu Electronic Warfare Symposium will facilitate the exchange of enabling concepts and provide a venue to disseminate current research in the fields of collaborative electronic warfare. Prominent leaders, contributors and representatives from the military, government, academia and industry will come together to address current electronic warfare gaps and emerging technologies in collaborative electronic warfare required to address these gaps.

Judging from the robust profits for 2012 that military contractors will be reporting in a few weeks, the defense industry's winter of discontent has not yet arrived. Perhaps "winter of disarray" would be a better way of describing the consequences of the eleventh-hour fiscal compromise that President Obama will sign into law this week, since it leaves in place the possibility of (1) federal default, (2) government shutdown, and (3) draconian spending cuts – all in March.

Whatever happens with sequestration, Pentagon planners are now struggling to fit the services' myriad programs under a reduced budget topline. Advocates point to their particular project or personnel as vital to U.S. warfighting capacity. Technologists point to new capabilities that will allow us to do more with equal or even fewer resources. (AOL Defense)
