Federal Government

<p>This executive order outlines a comprehensive federal strategy to strengthen U.S. leadership in space exploration, security, and commercial development. It sets clear priorities for returning to the Moon, advancing space-based defense capabilities, modernizing acquisition processes, and expanding partnerships with allies and the private sector. The document also emphasizes sustainability, space traffic management, and emerging technologies—framing space as both a national security domain and an economic frontier.</p>

In honor of Veterans Day, join us for a special webinar, “Evolution of EW,” recognizing the service and contributions of veterans who have shaped the field of electromagnetic warfare. From the earliest efforts to control and exploit the electromagnetic spectrum to today’s advanced, spectrum-dominant capabilities, electromagnetic warfare has continually evolved alongside the changing character of conflict. This webinar will explore the progression of EW technologies and operational tools used by the military, highlighting how decades of innovation, operational lessons, and emerging threats have driven new approaches to spectrum operations. Participants will gain insight into how early EW techniques and platforms laid the groundwork for modern systems, as well as how current capabilities are designed to meet the demands of multi-domain operations and increasingly contested electromagnetic environments. Through historical perspective and technical discussion, this webinar will honor the veterans who pioneered these capabilities while examining the technologies that continue to shape the future of electromagnetic warfare. Joining Dr. Kyle Davidson (Primary Speaker) will be two Panelists, Dr. Thomas Withington and Wayne Shaw.

Every minute a commander waits on manually relayed coordinates, ISR requests, or readiness data is a minute of lost advantage. Yet across services, partners and classification levels, people still carry critical information between isolated systems by hand. Join us as defense and cybersecurity experts trace a mission thread from threat detection through reconnaissance, validation, decision and response, using recent allied exercises to show how high-assurance cross domain data flows connect sensors, C2 systems and intelligence sources without weakening security boundaries. You'll leave knowing how to: Cut decision time by removing manual handoffs Improve coalition interoperability Build the trusted data foundation that CJADC2, NATO multi-domain operations, AI-enabled capabilities and autonomous systems depend on
