Capabilities in an Austere Budget Environment
The men and women of the Dixie Crow Chapter of the Association of Old Crows will host our 38th consecutive Annual International EW Symposium from March 24-28, 2013. Our technical program, conducted at the unclassified level will consist of requirements, intelligence, analyses, and program status reviews from throughout the Electronic Warfare/Information Operations communities.
This symposium is one of the largest aviation electronic defense trade shows in the country, drawing from industry, academia and government alike. We’ve selected our theme "Maximizing EW/ISR Capabilities in an Austere Defense Budget Environment" and have confirmed Lt. Gen. Robert Elder, AOC president, as our Keynote Speaker Tuesday morning.
The technical sessions will be held from 12:30 p.m. till 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 26, and will continue from 8 a.m. till 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27 in the Scott Theatre, Eagle Building of the Museum of Aviation. Following the Theme "Maximizing EW/ISR Capabilities in an Austere Defense Budget Environment," we’ve compiled an excellent venue of technical presentations to be delivered this year. The following companies/organizations have volunteered to be represented: OO-ALC, 461st ACW, AFLCMC/WIID, GTRI, AFLCMC/WNY, MERC, Tektronix, Northrop Grumman, X-Com LLC, BAE Systems, NSWC Crane and AAI.
A very special event has been added this year to emphasize our theme for the symposium. Maj. Gen. (USAF retired) Robert McMahon, president of the 21st Century Partnership, will lead a panel discussion on the proposed DoD budget cuts and the effect that they will have on supporting the war fighter. The panel members will consist of VP level executives from major defense contractors BAE, Boeing, ITT Exelis, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, MERC and GTRI. Congressman Austin Scott, U.S. Representative for Georgia's 8th Congressional District, also plans to participate in the panel discussions.
