DSI Announces 2nd Annual Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Summit

Alexandria, VA, March 16, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Defense Strategies Institute is proud to announce their 2nd Annual Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Summit occurring on May 18 & 19, 2016. With the central theme of “Dominating the Next Phase of EMS Warfare,” the summit will bring together senior leaders within DoD, Military Services, Federal Agencies, Industry and Academia, in Alexandria, VA, for two days of senior level Government briefings and informal discussions in a "Town Hall" setting.

DOD’s growing requirements to gather, analyze, and share information rapidly require the DOD to maintain sufficient spectrum access. Adversaries are aggressively developing and fielding electronic attack (EA) and cyberspace technologies that significantly reduce the ability of DOD to access the spectrum and conduct military operations. Concurrently, the global wireless broadband industry and consumer demand for greater mobility and better data access puts a further strain on DOD operations occurring within the electromagnetic spectrum. These competing requirements for finite spectrum resources have changed the spectrum landscape, nationally and internationally for the foreseeable future.

“With Increased attention on efforts to officially recognize the electromagnetic spectrum as the next domain of warfare, we are looking forward to hosting senior level government leaders on what joining land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace domains would mean for future operations & readiness,” said Luis Hernandez, Senior Partner, DSI Group. He added, “Continuing the Cyber/EW/EMS dialogue is critical to maintaining US dominance.”

This educational summit provides US military commands, government agencies, academia, and technology providers the opportunity to participate in an open discussion addressing the current and future needs that exist for government operations occurring within the electromagnetic spectrum.
