The Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Capabilities & Gaps Summit 2026

The Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Capabilities & Gaps Summit unites professionals from the military, government, industry, and academia to address its 2026 theme of Non-Kinetics for Modern Warfare at the Speed of Relevance. The summit will explore topics such as emergent non-kinetic capabilities in an increasingly autonomous warfighting domain, recent doctrine, and integrating emerging technologies in joint warfighting to achieve an enduring EMSO advantage. It is designed to serve as a catalyst to mature, test, integrate, field, and support emergent non-kinetic capabilities for modern warfare across the Joint Force. This event addresses achieving force-level EW and EMSO capabilities across services, with panels and keynotes covering requirements and technologies vital for joint warfighting and electromagnetic spectrum advantage. DOD leaders will discuss EW and EMSO's roles in JADC2, joint long-range fires, and information advantage, emphasizing the need for AI and machine learning to close gaps in joint capabilities. EMS superiority depends on closing the gaps of current capabilities -- be part of the solution.
