Intelligence data and analysis have long been the foundation for EW systems and operations. As the pace of technical advances continues to increase and the proliferation of systems dependent on the Electromagnetic Spectrum grows, timely operationally relevant intelligence data is the lifeblood for EW capabilities. Operationally relevant data means time-dominant analysis is aligned to meet the ever increasing demand for instant information, all the while continuing content-dominant analysis to ensure a deeper understanding of the totality of the electromagnetic spectrum environment. With the widening demands on the intelligence community and the increase in its span of responsibilities, EW Intelligence must be focused and aligned with the entire EW mission set.
This conference provides AOC members with a unique opportunity to discuss EW with the intelligence professionals who actually perform the analysis and production. Hosting of this conference at the National Air and Space Intelligence Agency allows for classified level discussions critical to addressing the integration of Intelligence and Electronic Warfare. With their 400+ person SCIF conference facility, NASIC provides a venue to discuss the issues facing both the Intelligence and the EW communities.
The conference theme: “Operationalizing Intelligence in Electronic Warfare for the 21st Century” highlights the critical need to maintain an alignment of EW intelligence analysis with the demands of the entire EW enterprise. To address this theme, the agenda is built around 3 key sessions. Session 1: Perspectives, Session 2: Technology, Session 3: Systems. Each session will be chaired by a senior expert to frame the topic, preceded by a content rich presentations and discussion between practicing experts in each topic.
Session 1: Perspectives. A look at the integration of EW and Intel from two perspectives, the operator and the analyst. There is an increasing demand for time-dominant intelligence analysis to support ongoing actions. There is also a requirement for continual content-dominant analysis to build the foundation for a more complete understanding. These two requirements for analysis are actually complementary activities. In this session both operators and analysts will present their perspectives on their respective requirements, priorities and resourcing.
Session 2: Technology. What are the emerging technologies and how are they applicable to EW? Near-term that is actually being fielded and future R&D work that is on the horizon. In this session are presentations on both adversary and friendly emerging technologies which have application to EW. Presentations will include not only a description of the technology, but also how it is or could be applied to EW
Session 3: Systems. What are the new systems both employed and in development out there? How does the EW acquisition system use Intelligence? What can the Intelligence community provide to the EW system acquisition process? Presentations in this session will focus on the application of technology analysis to current and upcoming fielded systems. Topics should include how the systems community uses EW intel to design and build new EW-related systems.
Session4: Results and Way Ahead. This session will focus on (1) Summation of the previous 3 sessions, (2) Specific challenges and fixes from the previous 3 sessions, (3) assessment of meeting the conference’s 5 key objectives, (4) Inputs and comments for a published report of findings from the conference. It will consist of a panel of the 3 session chairs, a senior AOC official and the conference chair.
