AOC VIRTUAL SERIES: Register Now for the Next Free Webinar Cross-Eye Jamming, October 30
Cross-eye jamming is an old idea with two U.S. patents being submitted in 1958, and the underlying concepts being described in essentially all introductory EW textbooks. However, it was not until 2000 that the existence of cross-eye jammers suitable for operational use was publicly announced. Perhaps more surprisingly, a number of academic papers by authors from around the world have recently been published on the topic of cross-eye jamming – a highly unusual situation for any EW technique, let alone one as old as cross-eye jamming.
But what is cross-eye jamming, and how does it work? More importantly, what is so special about cross-eye jamming that it still attracts significant interest almost 60 years after it was initially proposed? And why was there such a long delay between the formulation of the underlying concepts and their practical implementation? This webinar will seek to answer these and other questions about cross-eye jamming.

Cyber operations are just about the only area of the DoD budget that hasn't been subject to cuts. But the leader of the Army's new Cyber Center of Excellence says that doesn't mean the Army can grow its newest military discipline in isolation. Speaking to an industry audience just outside Fort Gordon, Georgia, earlier this month, Maj. Gen. Stephen Fogarty, the commander of the Army's newest center of excellence, described the balancing act his organization will need to perform. (Federal News Radio)
