Registration is now open for AOC Europe 2026, taking place 19-21 May in Helsinki, Finland. This year's theme, Re-Arming Europe for Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority, will address critical challenges facing NATO and allied forces, including unmanned platform dominance, PNT/GNSS denial, and networked EW systems. The event will bring together military personnel, government officials, industry leaders, and academic experts for world-class programming featuring real-world case studies from current global conflicts.

Collaborative EW, taking place March 10-12 in Point Mugu, Calif., will gather coalition leaders from the US, UK and Australia to address electronic warfare challenges by exploring interoperability, unmanned systems integration, and joint manned/unmanned platform coordination to achieve superiority in peer-to-peer conflicts.

This is your opportunity to engage with EW innovators and operational planners shaping the future of coalition spectrum warfare. Take a closer look at new speakers and agenda details just announced.
