With 3GPP Release 17, the 5G system is “learning to fly” and technology wise 5G will enable satellite based connectivity. But it will present a long technology evolution and the NTN will be further enhanced. Those enhancements allow the incorporation of more processing power into the satellites known as regenerative mode or will enable other airborne stations beside satellites and also enhance the interoperability of terrestrial an...

Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA) 2023 is a conference hosted by the Association of Old Crows (AOC), PEO IEW&S/C5ISR and the AOC Susquehanna APG Roost. Its intent is to bring the community together to educate, discuss and strategize these technical needs. We anticipate 800+ representatives from military, government, industry, and academia supporting PEO IEW&S, CCDC/DEVCOM and related organizations from APG and other areas. All atte...

With new bands specified for 5G communications systems, there is now an issue of coexistence, which is radar and satellite using the same or similar frequency bands with 5G. Such coexistence can cause loss of capacity in 5G systems, can cause reduction of radar effectivity, and can even damage sensitive front ends in satellite ground stations. In this presentation we discuss new digital twin technologies that can be used for planning and simul...

Across our portfolio of advanced warfighting capabilities, we have trouble seeing the causes of our shared problems due to a long-standing fixation on their symptoms. While our individual technologies are indeed exceptional, our philosophy is becoming obsolete and so our approach is becoming deficient for our circumstances. The Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS), or simply the Spectrum, is no less than the totality of all radiant EM energy, for ev...

The World of Airborne Expandables & small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) Thursday, May 23, 2019 14:00 -15:00 EDT ABOUT Expendables and sUAS are playing an increasingly important role in military operations, due in large part to their unique capabilities, often low development and deployment costs, and expanding platform, payload and mission planning technologies afforded by a robust commercial off the shelf (COTS) market. This webinar wil...

Software defined radio "SDR" technology has been around for decades. Some of the benefits have been limited to the COMINT receiver vendors. In this presentation we focus more on the benefits for the end-user. We go through some general advantages of SDR technology and more specific benefits it brings to strategic COMINT monitoring systems. We will look at SDR enabled COMINT receiver functionality and how to combine it with a modular HW archite...

Theme: Evaluating Current EW Innovation in Context of Real World Conflicts The war in Ukraine has identified the relevance of Collaborative EW in support of rapid unfolding operations, with rapid adaptation and innovation contributing to the fight. What does this conflict teach us about what to do and what not to do in the spectrum? Who else will learn these lessons and to what result? Objective: As EW warfighting requirements continue to evol...

Although the term Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is often used interchangeably with both Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and “drone,” a UAS is a “system” of three parts, with UAV or “drone” referring to the aircraft itself. In addition to the aircraft, the UAS includes the control station and the communication link between the control station and the aircraft. It is this communications link that is often the p...

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is continuing its extensive modernization program, to prepare to fight and win "informationized local wars." Such wars are a hallmark of the "Information Age," where information is now not only the currency of international power, but the key to successful prosecution of wars. To this end, the PLA is intent upon achieving "information dominance," which includes electronic warfare, network warfare, and...
