Delivering EW and Cyber Capabilities for Multi-Domain Operations

Alexandria, VA, April 30, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Defense Strategies Institute is pleased to announce the Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Summit, occurring on June 20-21, 2017.

As war continues to shift further into the EW/Cyber domain and competing nations are gaining an edge on this emerging threat, the DoD is looking towards EW as a critical aspect of all warfighter operations and deems it vital to our military success. The crucial importance of defending our nation against Electronic Attacks only increases the necessity to master the utilization of the EMS and achieve greater spectrum access. In order to remain superior, the US has been devoting significant research and investment in advancing EMS technology and capabilities.

On June 20 & 21 Defense Strategies Institute will host the 3rd Electromagnetic Spectrum Summit at the Mary M Gates Learning Center in Alexandria, VA.
