Electromagnetic Warfare Capability Gaps and Enabling Technologies 2023 Conference
May 16-18 | Crane, IN

Force Level Electromagnetic Warfare

The overall goal of this signature conference for Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) professionals from the military, government, industry, and academic fields is to discuss issues related to achieving Force Level EW and Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) capabilities across the Services. Technical panels and keynote speakers will address EW and EMSO requirements and emerging technologies necessary to support joint warfighting and achieve an enduring advantage in the electromagnetic spectrum. Government and military leaders across the Department of Defense will present the essential role of EW and EMSO in Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2), Joint Long-Range Fires, and Information Advantage, and exchange with the EW community how innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are needed to advance collaborative and agile solutions to persistent gaps in our joint warfighting capabilities.

Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2)
Feb. 23 | 2 p.m. ET

As Department of Defence undertakings go, the Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) system is one of the most ambitious. Put simply, the initiative has two key ambitions: Firstly, It will smash stovepipe walls separating the US' armed services' C2 systems. Secondly, it will greatly accelerate the pace at which information can be shared between services across the battlespace. In short, the JADC2 represents an ambitious effort to embrace a manoeuvrist mindset, and the teachings of strategist Colonel John Boyd, yet further.

This webinar will explain the JADC2 architecture. It will describe what the JADC2 is intended to achieve and how it will be implemented. The webinar will then explain how JADC2 will work at the practical level, and how it may develop in the future.

The State of Directed Energy

Directed energy has progressed significantly in the past year, with warfighters field-testing multiple prototypes. But how can we ensure the technology is operationally relevant from the lab to the user? Ken Miller talks with Christopher Behre about how the directed energy community is progressing and scaling directed energy weapons that ensure mission success.

Chris Behre is Principal Engineer for the Directed Energy Weapons to the Director for Electronic Warfare in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. Ken and Chris discuss the achievements of directed energy innovations, the need to focus on overhauling testing facilities and infrastructure to improve capabilities and how each military branch is using directed energy weapons.
