Theme: EW Overmatch – Reestablishing Dominance in the Electromagnetic Spectrum
The 10th annual CEMA Conference comes at a critical inflection point for Electronic Warfare (EW). After a 30+ year hiatus, the Army is on the cusp of fielding a variety of terrestrial and airborne EW capabilities that will reestablish its capabilities within the electromagnetic spectrum. This conference will focus on the pending delivery of these capabilities in support of multi-domain operations (MDO) under large-scale combat operations (LSCO) conditions, and what research remains to address future threats and achieve an Army of 2040 that is fully equipped with advanced electronic warfare, cyber, signals intelligence, information operations, and other forms of non-kinetic fires, to fully dominate the Electromagnetic Spectrum.
