EW Capabilities & Gaps 2025: A Critical Forum for Addressing EMSO Challenges
The Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Capabilities & Gaps Summit is a vital gathering of industry, academia, military, and government leaders tackling the urgent challenges in electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO). In an era of increasingly contested and congested environments, securing dominance in the spectrum is not optional—it’s essential for mission success and warfighter survivability.

This strategically imperative summit delivers actionable solutions to bridge gaps between warfighter challenges and cutting-edge innovation. Attendees will gain first-hand insights into real-world test events, digital engineering advancements, and rapidly fielded technologies that are transforming the EMSO battlespace.

EMS superiority depends on closing the gaps of current capabilities – be part of the solution.
