The 8th Annual AOC Pacific Conference is co-sponsored with United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM), which conducts additional meetings, presentations, and workshops that together with the AOC Pacific Conference comprise the Pacific IO Symposium. This annual event is USINDOPACOM's only professional development, international engagement, and operational problem-solving event focused on the Information Related Capabilities that comprise...

Introduction to Machine Learning for EW Thursday, September 5, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT While machine learning is often discussed as a key technological advancement, its utility to Electronic Warfare (EW) is often poorly understood. The goal of this webinar is to introduce the audience to the principles of machine learning, and its relationship to modern EW systems. While Machine Learning has been in existence for decades, its commercial u...

Understanding Tracking RadarsThursday, July 11, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUTIn order to design effective countermeasures – ones that produce significant miss distance – an understanding of the target of those countermeasures is required. In most cases that target is a tracking radar, which this webinar will seek to explain in order to promote an understanding of the interaction between the signal a radar receives and the track it...

ELINT and RESM, getting the facts straight Thursday, June 6, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT During a military career lasting more than 20 years, I was involved in some capacity with radar on an almost daily basis as either engineer, collector or analyst. I cannot recall ever coming across a situation where there was any confusion or misinterpretation when discussing ELINT or RESM. The line between the two was hard and fast and the requirements f...

Achieving Freedom to Maneuver Leveraging Non-Kinetic Capabilities This forum provides a venue for stakeholders, thought-leaders and experts in Electronic Warfare to come together to focus on the technologies and the services required to ensure freedom to maneuver through leveraging the Electromagnetic Spectrum and Non-Kinetic Capabilities, and to discuss issues related to the requirements of EW programs, platforms, and operations. Panel sessio...

UNIFYING ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE IN A COMPLEX WORLD - TOGETHEROver the past few years mature, offensive EW activity in Europe has demonstrated that in the electromagnetic domain, warfare is no longer theoretical. The AOC’s 24th European event, will consider the future of EW and EM Operations in the changing light of current and emerging threats including Hybrid Warfare, Information Operations/Warfare, the multi-domain battle (MDB), Cyb...

Radar Cross Section (RCS) and Stealth Thursday, May 9, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT Radar cross section (RCS) is an important characteristic of military vehicles, such as aircraft, warships, and tanks. RCS is the effective cross-sectional area of the target as seen by the radar. It’s measured in square meters (m2) or decibels above a square meter (dBm2). Alternatively, the RCS of a target can be considered to be the cross section of a me...

The Association of Old Crows (AOC), and the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) look forward to hosting International and U.S. attendees at the GTRI Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The AOC/GTRI sponsored symposium will focus on “Interoperability, Electronic Warfare (EW), and Foreign Military Sales (FMS).” Our goal is to host a world-class event that will serve as a platform for information exchange and education on defens...

Self-Interference Cancellation: Full-Duplex RevolutionThursday, April 18, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUTSelf-interference cancellation invalidates a long-held fundamental assumption in wireless network design that radios can only operate in half duplex mode on the same channel. Beyond enabling true in-band full duplex, which effectively doubles spectral efficiency, self-interference cancellation tremendously simplifies spectrum management. It...

Key Topics for Operational Directed Energy WeaponsThursday, April 4, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUTThe Directed Energy (DE) community finds itself at a point of convergence between the state of the art of various forms of DE-weapon technology, and a growing number of emerging and asymmetric threats that those DE weapons can reasonably address in a more cost-effective manner than existing, and thus far conceived, conventional kinetic weapons. G...
