PLEASE HELP AOC Create EW Professional Credentials |
AOC needs your input to help define the content of a professional credentialing program and associated educational materials for spectrum warfare professionals (e.g., electronic warfare and spectrum control professionals.) Specifically, we need you to complete a formal survey that is part of the AOC Job/Task Analysis study of the profession of spectrum warfare professionals.
The survey was prepared by a panel of spectrum warfare professionals under the direction of credentialing experts from The Caviart Group. It is designed to determine the tasks that spectrum warfare professionals do in their job and the knowledge, skills and abilities required to do those tasks. The results of this survey will be analyzed and will guide the design of future professional credentials for spectrum warfare professionals.
Click here to take the survey. It should take you less than 30 minutes to complete.
This study is on a tight schedule so it is important that you respond to the survey as soon as possible. The survey will close on January 24, 2012, but please complete it today!
If you have any problems using the survey site, please email Clarence "Buck" Chaffee at The Caviart Group at cchaffee@thecaviartgroup.com. He will respond within 48 hours.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

DISCUSS THE IMPACTS OF EXTREMISM at Information Operations Europe, February 22-23 |
This conference explores how individuals and groups use the information environment to advance extremism within nation states. The events surrounding the "Arab Spring" awakened Western countries to the plight of disenfranchised populations in the Arab Region and Northern Africa. Large groups of disaffected people coalesced their anger to overthrow long-standing governments. These groups leveraged the information environment to communicate on a world stage while garnering support within their home nations, across their region and from the entire world. This same information environment is available to other groups to advance their goals and objectives.

INDUSTRY NEWS: The U.S. Navy Goes Back to the Future |
Three years ago the U.S. Navy decided to build only three of the new DDG-1000 class ships and resume building older DDG-51 Arleigh Burke class destroyers instead. It was a matter of cost. The DDG-51 is less than half the cost of the DDG-1000, but some navy officials believe that, in the long run, the larger and more expensive DDG-1000 would be a better investment. The key problem here is the inability of the Navy to control costs and cost estimates and the inability of the DDG-51s to provide space for new technologies. (Strategy Page)
