With the rise of electronic warfare, or EW, the battle for control of the electromagnetic spectrum is intensifying. The electromagnetic spectrum and directed energy can be used in military applications to detect, disrupt and deceive adversarial forces while protecting U.S. and allied forces. These tactics can target communication systems, radar and other military and civilian systems that rely on the electromagnetic spectrum. In recent years,...

The evolution of the Mission Partner Environment as well as early engagement with Mission Partners during the cooperation phase of competition is critical in establishing a unified approach to identify, organize, and deliver Joint and Allied C2 capabilities to Combatant Commands across warfighting domains. With that said, as we plan, demonstrate, integrate, and operationalize more JADC2 capabilities over time into the warfighting domain, what...

Space is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing and most highly contested domains in the world today. The proliferation of commercial space satellites, the increasing militarization of space and the growing number of actors in the domain have contributed to boosted investments and a larger federal focus on space. However, many of the Department of Defense’s space programs are behind schedule and over budget today. In response, the U.S. g...
