The Dixie Crow Chapter of the AOC, MERC and Peraton hosted the Special Topic Meeting – “Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) – The Driving Force for EW Cooperation” on Feb. 16 in the MERC Auditorium with over 120 attendees in person and virtually as a follow on to the 2023 training.

Our 2023 Training covered Collaborative and Cooperative EW and briefly alluded to the driving force for EW cooperation: the Integrated Air Defense System (IADS). This year we will look at this problem space from the IADS perspective. What does the IADS do? How does it increase the effectiveness of our adversaries? What are some approaches from an EW perspective to reduce this effectiveness? Spoiler alert! This leads us right back to cooperation in the EW domain with our wingman, other services and coalition partners.

Thank you to our presenters: Kevin Stilwell and Bryan Johnson
