REGISTER FOR THE JUNE AOC VIRTUAL SERIES FREE WEBINAR: Hostile Emitter Location: A Critical EW Capability
June 27, 2 p.m. EDT
Sponsored by
In this 45-minute presentation, Dave Adamy will describe the approaches to the passive location of hostile transmitters and the important techniques in current use. Each technique will be described at the system level along with typical applications, the typical location accuracy achieved, and important features and shortcomings. Calibration approaches and practical application challenges will also be discussed.
About Dave Adamy
Dave Adamy has been an EW Systems Engineer, in and out of uniform, for 50 years – working on EW systems from just above D.C. to just above daylight, mounted on platforms from submarines to space. Almost all of these systems included emitter location capabilities. Since 1984, he has run his own company, performing studies for the U.S. government and defense contractors. He also has presented dozens of courses in the U.S. and allied countries on EW and related subjects. He has published more than 200 professional articles on EW, receiver system design and closely related subjects, including the popular "EW 101" column in the Journal of Electronic Defense. He holds an MSEE (communication theory) and has 11 books in print.

SUPPORT THE AOC at the 50th Annual International Symposium and Convention
Due to sequestration and curtailed government and military travel, the
50th Annual AOC International Symposium & Convention, October 27-30,
is one of the few chances your
company will have in 2013 for vital face-to-face interaction with your
Spectrum Warfare suppliers and customers. It is the most cost-effective
vehicle for en-masse discussions between you and the military.
To adapt to this new fiscal reality, the AOC recently announced complimentary Symposium registration to both military personnel AND government civilians.
Because of the large concentration of military and government personnel
around the Washington, D.C. Beltway, this local Symposium will prove to
be a widely attended mission-critical meeting of industry, academia,
military and government. To accomplish this momentous event, the AOC community needs your support now more than ever.
Sponsorship makes an important statement about your company’s role in supporting our industry. It marks who the leaders are without regard to size and it offers benefits that are difficult to obtain elsewhere.
We welcome your ideas for tailoring any sponsorships or developing something new to fit your needs. Plan early for the best availability and exposure. Visit the Additional Branding Opportunities page to learn how your company can get involved for as little as $500!

REVERSING SEQUESTRATION REMAINS CRITICAL: Urge Your Representatives to Take Action Today!
Because of the White House and Congress’s inability to reach a deal to reverse mandatory across-the-board sequestration budget cuts, the initial round of multibillion-dollar cuts to defense and non-defense federal agencies has begun. Unless reversed, sequestration will cut defense and non-defense programs by $1 trillion over nine years. Sequestration will put at risk more than a million American jobs, including hundreds of thousands of small business jobs, and threatens to stall the economic recovery.
The public is now waking up to the consequences of sequestration. You can make a difference. Write your elected officials and urge them to reverse this bad policy.
The AOC remains committed to stopping sequestration!

PLAN NOW TO ATTEND: AOC 2013 Land EW Conference: Innovation and Demonstration, December 10-11
Due to protracted acquisitions and traditional doctrinal warfare solutions there is a lack of exposure or appreciation for the cutting-edge innovation and technological development resulting in missed opportunities to provide warfighters the most up-to-date spectrum and information-related capabilities.
The 2013 Land EW Conference: Innovation and Demonstration will be held December 10-11 in Quantico, VA, to provide a forum for government and commercial attendees to both appreciate the latest innovations and/or witness how these tactics may be implemented.

The front line in America’s battle to fight computer hackers from China and master electronic warfare isn’t on a far-away battlefield or at a diplomatic retreat. It’s in the rolling suburbs of Maryland outside Washington. While President Barack Obama discussed cybersecurity with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California last week, defense contractors led by Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) and computer security companies were working alongside the U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency (0053520D) to thwart digital attacks while the military pursues offensive capabilities.
