Theme: Integrating Coalition EW Synergies to Achieve Massed Electromagnetic Warfare in Peer Conflicts

Objective: For a peer-to-peer conflict, Coalition Partners will need to collaborate and leverage partner synergies to gain superiority in EW. How can we work toward the required interoperability needed for coalition spectrum warfare? How will unmanned and autonomous systems be used to expand EW capabilities? How can we intermix manned/unmanned platforms from multiple coalition partners in a joint fight to mass EW capabilities for a decisive engagement? These are some of the questions we seek to cover as we prepare for a coalition peer-to-peer conflict. Prominent leaders, contributors, and representatives from the AUKUS Partners: Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States will gather from government, academia, and industry to address EW challenges and opportunities in the coalition warfighting.
