AOC Advocacy

About

The AOC believes it is necessary to engage, educate, and coordinate with leaders throughout government, industry and academia in support of policies, programs, and ideas that advance EW and related EMS capabilities, and strengthen our international industrial base.

Over the years, AOC has been active engaging Congress, the Defense Department, and relevant federal agencies on issues affecting our community. We have built strong relationships with leaders throughout government, advanced EW-related programs and budgets, and influenced legislation and policy development in support of our growing mission.
