There is less than a few week to submit nominations for the 2021 AOC Awards Program! A central tenet of the AOC's mission is recognizing individuals, groups, and military units for their outstanding performance in furthering the aims of the AOC and the Electromagnetic Warfare enterprise. AOC has a number of awards that are available each year, with two categories - Competitive and Non-Competitive. Find out more at crows.org/awards. Deadline to submit is June 21! If you have started an application, but have not submitted, you must submit by the deadline.
The AOC STEM Student of the Year scholarship will be awarded to one male and one female student studying in the fields of engineering or engineering technology and interested in working in the Aerospace and Defense Industry. These scholarships are funded by a generous donation from Raytheon Intelligence & Space. Aircraft Combat Survivability and Radar Cross Section (RCS) The aircraft combat survivability discipline has come a long way since WWII. New stealth aircraft have been designed with survivability as one of the most relevant pillars. F-117 fighter and B-2 bomber represent a turning point in this context, bringing a new way of conducting raids: extremely stealthy and lethal, thanks mainly to the denial of their RCS. The webinar will start with basic concepts of RCS, followed by a case of study that illustrates how proper management of RCS could improve the aircraft combat survivability against radar detection. Finally, the webinar will discuss some technology trends directed to RCS reduction.
Re-scheduled due to technical difficulties. If you have already registered, you do not need to register again. Introduction to Direct Energy Weapons Direct Energy Weapons (DEW) cover a range of systems and applications critical to success in military operations. The goal of this webinar is to help the audience understand DEW systems, the principles of operation, and how they create effects on their targets. Three classes of DEW will be explored: lasers, high power microwaves, and particle beams, which range in maturity from operational systems to almost science fiction. With an understanding of the basics, the system architecture of a DEW will be examined, including generating the source, tracking of targets, atmospheric propagation, and how the resulting wave or particles interact with the target system. Lastly, the presentation will provide an overview of contemporary military applications of DEWs, and where they will evolve in the near term. Be sure to check out the full 2021 schedule to sign up for more webinars.
Aircraft RCS Engineering – Historical Perspective, Basic Principles, and Stealth Technology This course introduces students to Radar Cross Section (RCS) engineering and its basics fundamentals inside the modern EW context. Commencing with a historical overview, the course passes through all the relevant conflicts where the RCS design plays a significant role, followed by considerations about aircraft missions, tactics, and threats. In sequence, the theoretical part begins involving electromagnetic propagation, radar fundamentals, and design of simple and complex RCS objects. Finally, stealth technology is addressed by presenting current challenges and future perspectives. Register now. The AOC International Symposium & Convention, the industry’s leading, three-day event, brings together nearly 2000 professionals from 30+ countries spanning industry, military, and government sectors.

Mobile command posts dot the battlefield. On-the-move units connect with new commercial satellite constellations but automatically pivot to other communications routes if interrupted by an adversary... That’s what the Army wants its battlefield network to look like by 2025... (C4ISRNET) The Pentagon announced on Friday a new package of $150 million in military assistance for Ukraine that will include counter-artillery radar, electronic warfare equipment and counter-drone technology, bolstering Kyiv amid elevated tensions with Moscow. (Reuters) The Defense Department and its partners will hold the next demonstration of the highly anticipated drone swarming concept this fall, according to a top general. (Military.com) Calendar
