Recent conflicts around the world have demonstrated the growing importance of electromagnetic warfare, from communications jamming to GPS disruption and beyond. As the strategic landscape evolves, so does the need for coordinated, well-resourced EMSO capabilities.

 

AOC has proposed the creation of a Joint EMSO Combat Support Agency (JEMSO CSA) for consideration in the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act. The proposal envisions a unified structure, modeled after existing agencies such as DISA and DTRA, that would centralize EMSO policy, coordination, and training across military services.

 

AOC has been engaging with members of Congress and relevant working groups as the proposal moves through the legislative process. We've developed a resource hub for members of the EMSO community seeking to follow and understand the proposal's development and support these efforts.

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.

Advanced registration is now closed, but on-site registration will be available for those with a CAC Card. Visitors without base access must pre-register on Monday night at the Welcome Reception and once cleared will meet at the Visitor Center (outside of the Mugu Road gate) to be shuttled on each morning. If you plan to register on-site, you must submit your clearance information prior to arrival.  

 

Don't miss your opportunity to engage with EW innovators and operational planners shaping the future of coalition spectrum warfare. Take a closer look at Collaborative EW's featured speakers and the full agenda before you go.

 

Join AOC and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for a groundbreaking three-day classified course on cognitive EW using artificial intelligence. Taking place June 23-25 in San Antonio, Texas, this SECRET/TS//SCI-level course will teach you how AI enables EW systems to respond quickly and effectively to complex battlefield conditions. You'll explore AI techniques for electronic support, protection, attack, and battle management through expert instruction and hands-on Python programming modules.
 
Led by experts Dr. Karen Zita Haigh, David Brown, and Damon F. Plyler, the course includes daily technical instruction from SwRI's cognitive EW engineers, lunch, and a networking reception.
