EW Europe: Evolving threats, concepts and capabilities
The 2016 AOC Europe Conference, now in its 16th year, is scheduled for 10-12 May 2016 with plans in hand to run an Intelligence Workshop on 10 May. This year’s theme will focus on Transforming EW – Evolving Threats, Concepts and Capabilities, with the thesis of Hybrid Warfare and the Future of EW.
EW Europe is the key event for the Electronic Warfare community. It provides a unique platform to view the latest equipment and systems from the world’s defence and security industry.
As nations re-focus on contingency operations after over a decade of counter-insurgency there are many challenges and opportunities for governments, the military, academia, science and technology and industry. Recent events have reminded everyone of the deadly nature of RF guided weaponry and that the threat from insurgents, has not ended, but intensified.
AOC EW Rotterdam 2016 will consider the future of EW and EM Operations in the changing light of current and emerging threats, including Hybrid Warfare; it will consider the possible responses, how thinking and attitudes must change, and examine the new capabilities that will be required across all lines of defence, by all services, in all countries. Part of the event will include twin-tracks focusing respectively on operations, capability and defence lines of development, and industry developments and inventiveness.
