Theme: Coalition EW in near-peer conflict
Objective: Any future near-peer conflict will almost certainly involve coalition warfighting. For such, many standards in kinetic weapons, communications, and operations have been instantiated, as in NATO. EW has arguably been less standardized with regard to desired synergies and required interoperability in coalition spectrum warfare. Therefore, EW synergies and interoperability across coalition forces are worth exploring. We seek to cover any and all aspects of current and future EW and intend to address how these might work in the most difficult and challenging warfighting context for which we can prepare in coalition near-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.
