EMS as the Context of Military OperationsSDR For Strategic COMINT Applications
April 6 | 2 p.m. ET

Across our portfolio of advanced warfighting capabilities, we have trouble seeing the causes of our shared problems due to a long-standing fixation on their symptoms. While our individual technologies are indeed exceptional, our philosophy is becoming obsolete and so our approach is becoming deficient for our circumstances. The Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS), or simply the Spectrum, is no less than the totality of all radiant EM energy, for every purpose, usually referenced by frequency. By its omnipresent and immersive nature, the EMS provides an entire physical system of concepts, objectives and relationships for underwriting strategic advantage in great power competition. However, we must deliberately choose to look beyond our comfortable, popular, localized assumptions to see and take advantage of the EMS’ systemic benefits. With those observations in mind, this discussion will visit our circumstances, challenges and future opportunities for underwriting strategic military superiority through improving our understanding of – and thus our approach to – the Electromagnetic Spectrum domain.

Navigating Our Dependency on GPS

The US relies highly on GPS, navigation timing systems and satellites. And recently, GPS was labeled as a single point of failure for America by the Director of Resilience on the National Security Council. To discuss the impacts of this, Ken Miller talks with Dana Goward about the significance of GPS today and the potential risks posed by interference and spoofing.

As President of the Resilient Navigation and Timing Foundation and a member of the National Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing Advisory Board, Dana provides invaluable insight into the world of GPS technology and its vulnerabilities. Ken and Dana also discuss how GPS jamming is unfolding in global conflicts and how the US can better protect critical infrastructure from attacks on GPS signals.

A Quantum Leap in Electronic Warfare Training
Rapidly evolving threats on the electronic battlefield pose daunting challenges to modern air forces.  Air combat crews must be prepared to complete their objectives in the face of increasingly sophisticated long-range radars, surface-to-air missiles, and electronic countermeasures. These systems, with their flexible, digital operating systems, are able to easily and swiftly change their operating parameters, implementing different modes during times of relative calm, tension, and conflict.
