As more commercial electronics utilize mobile computing and 5G technology begins to provide broadband internet everywhere, access to the electromagnetic spectrum can mean the difference between victory and defeat—on the battlefield or in business. The US military is using a new strategy for electromagnetic superiority, focused on maneuver and spectrum sharing, to create advantages and increase commercial access to a more congested and contested spectrum. But implementation of this strategy has been slow and uneven. The Pentagon has mainly invested in defensive systems for large, manned platforms, with spectrum agility and offensive capabilities a distant second.
Please join Hudson Senior Fellow Timothy A. Walton and Association of Old Crows President Brian Hinkley for a discussion on the US military’s efforts to achieve spectrum superiority with Representatives Don Bacon (R-NE), Rick Larsen (D-WA), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), the co-chairs of the Congressional Electromagnetic Warfare Working Group.
Join Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control and Nonproliferation Dr. Christopher Yeaw for a discussion on strategic deterrence.
Join Hudson for an expert panel on why these deals are so important for both nations, what they mean for the future of US supply chains, and what potential challenges remain for implementing these deals.
