Revealing Secrets and the Signals Intelligence Ties That Bind
Sept. 19 | 2 PM ET

The AUKUS trilateral security arrangements between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States mark a profound step in deepening security ties between three long-standing, English-speaking democracies, but this didn't occur in a vacuum. An examination of the realm of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) in the context of Australia and its connections with the 'Five Eyes' intelligence network, is not widely understood, but goes a long way to explain how it happened. This talk provides a rarely seen glimpse into America's Down Under SIGINT partnership and helps explain how such a compact could be contemplated and why it is unlikely to be replicated.

Exploring NATO’s Growing Relationship With The EW Community

In this exclusive episode of In this episode of From the Crow’s Nest, host Ken Miller chats with Eric Bamford, Branch Chief EW, Norwegian Armed Forces, and Member, AOC Board of Directors for International Region One.

Bamford argues that there is a tension around standards, specifically between NATO’s need for standardization and that of the private sector, which is full of actors changing proprietary solutions to gain an advantage in an industry. This has real-world impacts even in conflicts like the war in Ukraine, with Bamford saying this question over full alignment being the thing that “keeps political leadership awake at night” right now.

The two also discuss NATO’s view of the importance of EW in the war in Ukraine and the projects on the plate of NATO’s EW subgroups, including switching away from the aging AWACS platform and aligning the annual meeting of NATO’s Air Force Armament Group (NAFAG) with AOC’s International Symposium in December.
