48th Annual Collaborative Electronic Warfare Symposium

Theme: Collaboration and Collaborative EW (US/AUS collaboration, Stand-in/Stand-off/Self-Protect jammer collaboration, Sensor collaboration, Man/Machine Collaboration, blue on blue collaboration/interoperability)

Day One will be classified US Secret Only.  

Day Two and Day Three sessions will be Classified Secret Releasable to Australia. 

The National AOC and Mugu Crows Chapter of the AOC, under a co-sponsorship agreement with NAWCWD, will hold the 48th Collaborative Electronic Warfare Symposium at Naval Base Ventura County Pt. Mugu Station Theater, CA (02 April - 04 April 2019).   Day One will be classified US Secret Only.  Day Two and Day Three sessions will be classified SECRET releasable to Australia.

Conference Topics:

1. Coherent Electronic Attack: Technology trends and advancements focused at the precise phase and timing requirements to produce sophisticated coherent jam strategies.  This includes the cognitive/AI  algorithms that can drive system adjustments at the speeds/precision necessary to produce coherent effects  

2. Cooperative Electronic Attack: Technology trends and advancements focused at combining EA systems for increased performance. This includes both offensive and self-protect EA and potential jam strategies that can optimize EA resources between different type EA systems.

3. Collaborative Electronic Attack: Technology trends and advancements focused at generating broader EA effects at the operational level.  This includes the optimal allocation of limited EA assets over a longer duration and broader geographic areas than EA support to single target area and short time on target. 

4. Collaborative EW enablers to improve EA effectiveness: Non-EA technology trends and advancements that are necessary to produce greater EA effectiveness.  Includes networked solutions, interoperability / compatibility concerns, manned / unmanned teaming, assured comms.

5. Warfighter Perspective
