Cyber/Electronic Warfare Convergence 2028

Theme: EMS Superiority – Challenges and Opportunities Across the Globe. The convention addresses the evolving landscape of electromagnetic warfare and electromagnetic spectrum operations, including the policies, partnerships, and technologies needed to achieve superiority in a contested and congested domain. Programming includes keynote presentations from senior military commanders and industry thought leaders; technical sessions on electromagnetic warfare, cyber operations, and spectrum dominance; interactive breakouts; expert-led panel discussions; and program manager briefings specific to the Navy, Army, and Air Force. The expo hall features technologies and solutions from defense contractors, emerging technology companies, and research institutions.

Sessions are classified TS//SCI.

The summit addresses force-level electronic warfare and electromagnetic spectrum operations capabilities across the services. Panels and keynotes will cover requirements and technologies vital to joint warfighting and electromagnetic spectrum advantage. Department of Defense leaders will discuss the roles of EW and EMSO in JADC2, joint long-range fires, and information advantage, with emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning to close gaps in joint capabilities. The summit is classified US Secret and TS/SCI.

Focuses on the pending delivery of capabilities in support of multi-domain operations (MDO) under large-scale combat operations (LSCO) conditions, remaining research needs to address future threats, and equipping the Army of 2040 with advanced electromagnetic warfare, cyber, signals intelligence, information operations, and other forms of non-kinetic fires to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum. Sessions are classified US Secret.

Theme: “Shared Deterrence: Delivering Asymmetric Depth through Collaborative Autonomy.” The symposium focuses on using autonomous systems as sensory and jamming nodes to extend electronic warfare effects into the battlespace, reduce physical risk to warfighters, preserve kinetic magazines, and strengthen spectrum dominance. Topics include collaborative autonomy and uncrewed delivery; next-generation EW payloads and cognitive algorithms; open architecture and coalition interoperability; and deploying non-kinetic capabilities through integration and interoperability. The AOC and Mugu Crows Chapter hold the symposium under a co-sponsorship agreement with NAWCWD. Sessions require security clearance: the first two days are US Secret, releasable to Australia and the United Kingdom; the final day is US Secret only. Attendance is open to appropriately cleared citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.

A professional development event for the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and the aerospace and defense industry, focused on critical concerns and challenges of joint warfare. The symposium draws speakers from the Air Force, Space Force, combatant commands, industry, and the joint force, and includes dynamic exhibits. A 2027 agenda and named speakers were not listed on the event pages reviewed.

The program examines the industrialization of cyber capabilities, military installations as warfighting platforms, privateering in the cyber domain, and U.S. Fleet Cyber Command’s focus, priorities, and capabilities. It also addresses cyber warfare innovation, operational readiness, emerging technologies, and partnerships supporting national cyber advantage.

Provides first-class professional military development, facilitates sharing of emerging requirements and technologies, and helps fuel connections that advance the cause of airpower and spacepower.

A naval conference and exposition for Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard leaders, industry, and academia. The event addresses maritime threats and operational challenges, including capabilities, platforms, and technologies supporting maritime operations.
