Call for Nominations for 2024 AOC Awards A central tenet of AOC's mission is recognizing individuals, groups and military units for their outstanding performance in furthering the aims of the AOC and the Electromagnetic Warfare enterprise. The AOC has a number of awards available each year in three categories: Prestige, Community and Chapter Flow Up. Submit your nomination by June 30.
AOC STEM Student of the Year Scholarship Each year, the AOC Education Foundation awards two students who exhibit academic excellence in engineering or engineering technology, as well as interest and potential contribution to national defense, with $12,500 each. These scholarships are generously funded by Raytheon Intelligence & Space. Application Deadline: June 30 Do you know someone who would be interested in applying? Let them know about this amazing opportunity!
AOC has chosen Electromagnetic Spectrum Warfare – The Great Power Competition as the theme for its 61st Annual International Symposium and Convention. Complimentary to the keynote, spotlight and breakout sessions, we are planning for 12 technical sessions comprised of subject matter experts from the military, academia and industry in numerous topic areas. If you're a professional with original, unclassified information related to electronic warfare or information operations, you are encouraged to submit your abstract. This is an excellent opportunity to share your expertise and contribute to the conversation on advancing EMS superiority. Submission deadline: July 31

AOC connects electromagnetic warfare practitioners, industry partners, policymakers and procurement decision-makers.
Using Large Language Models for Flight Test Data Analysis This brief will explore the potential benefits of using large language models (LLMs) for flight test data analysis. It will discuss how LLMs can be used to process and interpret the vast amount of information in different types of flight test data and how this can lead to more effective decision-making, improved safety assessments and optimized aircraft performance. LLMs have the potential to revolutionize the field of flight test data analysis by providing a more efficient and effective way to process and interpret large datasets. However, some challenges need to be addressed, such as the need for accurate and relevant datasets. Ongoing research and advancements in LLM technology will likely continue to enhance their capabilities for complex data analysis tasks in aviation and other domains. Offline LLMs can be used to handle CUI data, a type of sensitive information that requires special handling. This can be done by training the LLM on a dataset of CUI data that has been scrubbed of sensitive information. The brief will also discuss the future of LLMs in the field of flight test data analysis.
Educating and informing the Electromagnetic Warfare community is at the heart of AOC’s mission. As the leader in training EMSO and EW professionals worldwide, AOC offers a wide selection of professional development courses and webinars on various topics led by experts in the field. 
Podcast
FTCN Replay: EW in the Arctic from AOC Europe 2024 In a recent episode of our podcast, we detoured from our usual format to bring you insights from two conferences I and AOC Senior Analyst Matt Thompson attended in May 2024. First, my travels took me to AOC Europe 2024 This article highlights some of the conversations and interviews I had during AOC Europe, held in Oslo, Norway. The theme for AOC Europe 2024 was “Alliances and Collaborations in Multi-Domain Electromagnetic Warfare Operations.” This theme reflects the critical importance of partnerships and collaboration in modern military operations, especially in the context of electromagnetic warfare (EW).

Summit 2024: Spectrum Control for Resilient Space Operations EW professionals are gathering this week for a deep dive into Spectrum Control for Resilient Space Operations. This in-person event brings together experts in the field to discuss the latest trends, challenges and solutions for controlling the spectrum battlespace throughout all phases of military operations. Don't miss this opportunity to network, learn and collaborate with industry leaders and innovators. Industry News
The realm of directed energy technologies, while promising, remains a challenging field in terms of its integration into broader electromagnetic spectrum operations. Despite significant advancements and growing interest in DE systems, these technologies struggle to find a definitive place within Department of Defense programs, primarily due to a lack of sustained leadership support, coherent funding streams and clear demonstration of value to potential military customers. (JED) The United States will send Ukraine another Patriot missile system, two US officials said Tuesday, answering Kyiv’s desperate calls for more air defenses as it battles an intense Russian assault on the northeastern Kharkiv region. (AP) Hamas said Tuesday that it gave mediators its reply to the US-backed proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza, seeking some “amendments” on the deal. It appeared the reply was short of an outright acceptance that the United States has been pushing for but kept negotiations alive over an elusive halt to the eight-month war. (AP) Calendar
