March is recognized as National Women's History Month. We're celebrating the month by featuring women in history who have contributed to EW/EMSO.

Hedy Lamarr (1914–2000)

Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today’s WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth communication systems. As a natural beauty seen widely on the big screen in films like "Samson and Delilah" and "White Cargo," society has long ignored her inventive genius.

Chinese Thinking on the Establishment of “Information Dominance”
March 2 | 2 p.m. ET

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) is continuing its extensive modernization program, to prepare to fight and win "informationized local wars." Such wars are a hallmark of the "Information Age," where information is now not only the currency of international power, but the key to successful prosecution of wars. To this end, the PLA is intent upon achieving "information dominance," which includes electronic warfare, network warfare, and space warfare measures to establish dominance over the outer space and electromagnetic/network domains.

This presentation will discuss Chinese thinking on the establishment of "information dominance," based upon Chinese military textbooks and teaching materials. It will also address Chinese revisions in their military regulations, in light of the reorganization of the PLA and advances in certain aspects of information technology.

Finding Creative Solutions to Global Security Challenges

We all face complex challenges to global security and can examine these issues from many different perspectives. One of these perspectives is fiction storytelling, which often comes close to fact and reflects current problems. In this episode, Ken Miller talks with author Jeffrey Fischer to discuss his military fiction books and how to use these stories to help us learn, adapt, and explore creative solutions that address global security challenges today.

Jeff Fischer is a military fiction author, retired US Air Force Colonel, longtime aviator, and EW officer. Jeff discusses his journey from being in the military to becoming a writer and how this has given him insight into global security issues. Ken and Jeff discuss Live Range and Balkan Reprisal, two books exploring these themes through Dr. Kurt Nover's story. Dr. Nover is the main character who is a retired Navy Seal turned medical doctor who battles PTSD and finds himself caught in the middle of global security-altering events. 

You can find Jeff's books here.
