Modern RF (microwave and millimeter-wave) systems – particularly radars and satellite communications - rely heavily on solid-state electronics, notably GaAs and GaN transistors and MMICs. Substantial details concerning these technologies are covered in this talk. In contrast devices known as travelling-wave vacuum tubes (TWTs) are required for RF output power beyond the capabilities of solid-state and therefore TWTs are also covered. Act...

Join us for this premier event on Cyber-EW Convergence, where we move beyond definitions and doctrine to focus on real-world combined operations. Originally designed to examine the relationship between cyber operations (CO) and electronic warfare/electromagnetic spectrum operations (EW/EMSO), this event now highlights how IT, data infrastructure, and operational capabilities are driving true integration. For this year's event, we’ll expl...

Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) is a key component of 6G technology, enabling each node, whether a user equipment (UE) or a next-generation NodeB (gNB), to either passively or actively sense its surroundings. The passive approach means that the target does not need to carry any specific devices, such as mobile phones or smart watches, and is not actively transmitting data, thereby protecting its information from potential adversary...

The military is critically dependant on position, navigation, and time (PNT) services across platforms and missions. For decades, GPS (and GNSS more widely) has been the ubiquitous standard by which PNT services are provided, and gave rise to the field of Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR). This webinar will cover a variety of methods by which GNSS receivers are protected from jamming and spoofing, focussing heavily on modern CRPA technology. We will...

Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations require systems and operators that stay ahead of threat capabilities. While acquisition of improved EW capabilities occurs regularly, recently with record amounts of funding, the funding and resources dedicated to training to those capabilities typically lags. Efforts to increase EW training capabilities are occurring, but not at a pace that is required to meet potential 2027 wartime scenarios, and not in a...

CEMA 2025 advances last year’s narrative of “EW Overmatch” to one of “All Domain Operations” where Division commanders have multiple capabilities at their disposal to achieve shaping or decisive effects in the deep fight. It is the artful combination of human and machine integrated capabilities for crewed and uncrewed teaming and leveraging autonomous platforms and not soldiers to make first contact with the enemy...

The AOC 2025 CEMA Pre-Summit Professional Development Workshops bring topics and content directly related to this yworkshops each provide vital information that is relevant to CEMA attendees, AOC members, and others within the industry. Scheduled for the day prior to the start of the CEMA Conference, attendees arriving prior to the event can take advantage of these unique opportunities. Both sessions are unclassified and cover high-level aspec...

While most antenna engineering focuses on communications and radar signals with known power and frequency requirements, High Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) systems present a design challenge with non-cooperative targets and starkly different criteria for "success". Therefore, the optimal design space presents with substantial differences relative to conventional antenna engineering and merits attention to specific details and solutions. This tal...

In this webinar, we will introduce essential practical techniques crucial for operating and implementing hardware in superconducting quantum processors. We’ll cover key concepts such as the fundamentals of quantum processor operation, the necessary cryogenic and room-temperature microwave components, system considerations, and how to construct a basic quantum computer within a dilution refrigerator.
