Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) 2024
April 30 – May 2 | Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD

Theme: EW Overmatch – Reestablishing Dominance in the Electromagnetic Spectrum

Submission Deadline: Jan. 19, 11:59 PM ET

Taking place at a critical juncture for electronic warfare (EW), CEMA 2024 marks a significant moment as the Army is on the verge of fielding terrestrial and airborne EW capabilities after a 30+ year hiatus.

You're invited to submit an original, unclassified abstract focused on one of the following key topics:

• Science & Technology: Current, emerging and future trends in EW/Cyber/SIGINT/IO technologies, architecture, techniques, use of machine learning/artificial intelligence and other novel technologies
• Acquisition Programs: Updates from key leadership, program and capability managers and policy makers on current and emerging programs of record, quick reaction capabilities and rapid prototyping efforts
• Exercises & Experimentation: Lessons learned from CEMA exercises and experimentation
• DOTMLPF-P: Integrating holistic CEMA solutions into Army and Joint formations in support of multidomain operations
• From the Field: Feedback on current employment of CEMA capabilities from operational units, emerging CONOPS, TTPs, signature management and force structure implications
• Special Emphasis Topics: Multi-Domain Systems of Systems, Information Advantage
  Intelligence Production in support of CEMA operations, Distributed Operations, Indo-Pacific unique requirements, Navigation Warfare, Machine Learning and Automation and Electromagnetic Battle Management in support of Joint All Domain Command and Control

Submit your paper by this Friday, Jan. 19!

The EW Innovation Chasm - Bridging the Gap Between Academia and EW
Jan. 25 | 2 PM

The innovation chasm - the difficulty of bridging the gap from university research to products and services available in the market - is key a problem in many fields of endeavour, but seldom in EW. While this may initially appear to be a positive conclusion, this is sadly not the case. Unfortunately, little innovation gap exists in EW simply because academics seldom work in EW. The reasons for this lack of academic consideration of EW appear obvious. The tremendous operational value of EW means that the majority of EW is classified, while academia is based on the principle of openly sharing information (publish or perish). Additionally, there is an argument that militaries kill people and that this is counter to the goal of academia, which is to develop people. However, neither of these apparently obvious issues is as clear or significant as it may appear. Based on the presenter's experience as an academic working in EW for more than a decade, it will be argued that EW is actually a particularly suitable topic for academic work. It is hoped that this discussion will assist EW professionals in approaching academics and convincing them that EW really is an interesting, rewarding field to work in.
