From the Editor
The AOC Europe Show Daily (a special edition of the JED eCrow) will provide you with news coverage and other information about this week's event. We'll be writing about the ideas delivered in the keynotes, EMSO concepts and trends in the sessions and EW and SIGINT technology. Each day, we'll alert you about special events, post photos from the show floor and much more. So keep an eye on your email inbox each day and we'll help you to stay in the know. For a comprehensive look at this week's schedule of events, visit the AOC Europe 2025 website.
2025 Theme: EMO in Transition – Learning from the Russo-Ukrainian War The Russian invasion of Ukraine has seen new technologies and systems being introduced into the battlefield. This speedy capability insertion has significant impacts on EMO strategies, operations in the land, sea, air and space domains as well as in emerging EW system requirements. The event will examine the effect of these rapidly evolving technological changes in military strategic planning, new equipment development, novel EW capabilities and electromagnetic operations in the field. AOC Europe 2025 will examine drone applications in electromagnetic operations, effects of disruptive technologies, the exploitation of modelling and simulation in system design and military test and training requirements. In addition, the increasing dependence on the space domain will be addressed. A focus on regional and NATO requirements and capabilities together with lessons learned from current electromagnetic manoeuvres in the Russo-Ukrainian War will be discussed.
 Symposium Happenings
Benvenuti a tutti! It is my great honor to welcome you to AOC Europe 2025 in the historic heart of Italy – Rome. As the capital of an ancient empire and home to remarkable landmarks like the Pantheon (A.D. 123), the Colosseum (A.D. 80) and St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome offers a captivating blend of past and present. I encourage you to take some time to explore its iconic piazzas, world-class museums and vibrant culture – there truly is something here for everyone. We gather at a time when the global security environment remains in constant flux. From ongoing conflicts in Europe and the Middle East to rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific, we are reminded daily of the need to adapt, learn, and work together. Across the AOC global community, our shared commitment to advancing electromagnetic operations (EMO) remains a vital force for enhancing collective defense and security. The 2025 theme, “EMO in Transition: Learning from the Russo-Ukrainian War, ” is timely and urgent. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has shown how rapidly emerging technologies and systems are reshaping the dynamics of the battlespace – on land, at sea, in the air, in space and across the electromagnetic spectrum. These quick-turn capability insertions have forced a reassessment of traditional EMO strategies and driven a wave of innovation in electronic warfare (EW) system requirements. Over the next few days, you’ll hear from experts exploring the full spectrum of this transformation: Integrating and synchronizing electromagnetic spectrum operations across all warfighting domains is no longer an option, it is a strategic imperative. And it requires deeper collaboration than ever before. Our strength lies in our shared experience and the diversity of perspectives that each of you brings – from industry, government, academia and the military. But to truly make a difference, we need you to be active and engaged within AOC. We are a global team, united in purpose and committed to excellence. Take full advantage of what AOC Europe 2025 has to offer. Attend as many sessions as you can. Visit the exhibit floor. Connect with your fellow crows. Expand your global network. This is your opportunity to learn, share and contribute to the future of EW and spectrum operations. To our exhibitors and sponsors, thank you for your unwavering support. To our speakers, thank you for your dedication and insights. And to all of you, thank you for being here and for your continued commitment to our mission. This year’s symposium promises to be as thought-provoking as it is impactful. Let’s use this time to push boundaries, spark ideas and strengthen the capabilities that will ensure our warfighters remain ready for whatever lies ahead. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible and sharing this unique and powerful experience with you. Buon simposio! Anthony (Tony) Lisuzzo
