As the future of warfare becomes increasingly reliant on information and digital tactics, our adversaries are employing information warfare to achieve overmatch – even before the physical war begins. With great power competition, information superiority is critical to success on the Digital Battlespace. Join us to discuss the challenges of the electromagnetic spectrum, including spectrum competition in a contested and congested environment, and how enablers such as partnerships and technological innovation can overcome these hurdles and increase the speed of understanding, analyzing, and acting on an explosion of data on the Digital Battlespace.

The RVJ Institute for studies in the electromagnetic spectrum has been stood up. Named in honor of one of the most prolific engineers who is considered by many the father of electronic warfare (EW), Reginald Victor Jones, the institute will drive studies in everything EW and electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO).

Ellen Purdy, director of emerging capabilities and prototyping initiatives and analysis at the Department of Defense (DOD), recently discussed the challenges of the electromagnetic spectrum, including spectrum competition in a contested and congested environment. She...
