The U.S. Army continues its charge to implement modern electronic warfare capabilities. A provision in the House National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the bill which funds the US Department of Defense and has a hand in setting its priorities, would have the Army set up an Electronic Warfare Center of Excellence. This CoE would be responsible for training and doctrine development for electronic warfare going forward. This establishment would remove those responsibilities from the Cyber Center of Excellence where they currently reside. There's still a long way to go with the current NDAA, but giving electronic warfare co-equal visibility and priority with cyber warfare is recognition by the Army of the importance of EW in future conflicts. That being said, I was once given a good warning about Centers of Excellence...building a Center is easy; making it Excellent is very hard. #electronicwarfare #ew #army #cyber #ndaa #dod https://lnkd.in/euatJgrQ

A new center of excellence has opened at the #Tartu-based #Estonian Military Academy (Kaitseväe Akadeemia), and among other things will allow research and development in the field of cyber warfare, daily Postimees AS reports https://lnkd.in/d8dE8Sm9. #Postimees says that the new facilities enable state-of-the-art electronic warfare #R&D activities, and the testing, while the academy's chief, Brig. Gen. Vahur Karus, (pictured) added that: "In contemporary warfare, we cannot afford the luxury of not talking about electronic warfare, as it has become a daily presence," citing the Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars as examples of this. "Every officer who graduates from the academy must therefore be aware of what is happening in today's technology and what tools will be used against them on the battlefield from the very first moment," Brig. Gen. Vahur Karus went on. Military personnel from other units within the Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) and employees of partner institutions will also be able to use the facility. The Center of Excellence for Electronic Warfare was launched in 2022 and focuses on three main areas: teaching, research and development, and testing of existing equipment and the equipment to be acquired and is also an official testing center for the recently unveiled NATO - Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) program. https://lnkd.in/dWPTqVkw

Recent experimentation with the #Multi-#Domain #Task #Force in the Pacific demonstrated to top #Army leadership the impact non-kinetic effects can have on the #battlefield and how they can enable other forces and #capabilities. While the #MDTF was created, in part, to provide the Army long-range fires capabilities, the service’s secretary said their #non-#kinetic #weapons are sometimes overlooked and can be an important #facilitator. In U.S. #military #parlance, the term “#kinetic” generally refers to #missiles or other traditional types of weapon systems that physically engage targets, whereas non-kinetic #tools can include #cyber, #electronic #warfare and other means of #attack.

'Central to everything we do': US Army unveils first-ever doctrine for 'information' - Breaking Defense "'We no longer regard information as a separate consideration or the sole purview of technical specialists,' the new ADP 3-13 says. 'Instead, we view information as a resource that is integrated into operations' — from cyberwar to psyops, reconnaissance to deterrence, social media to camouflage." Military training scenarios need to reflect complex and dynamic real-world situations. At Calian Group we integrate the latest lessons learned into military training scenarios to deliver realistic, relevant training that reflects the challenges of the modern battlefield. This means developing exercise scenarios and content to test cybersecurity, information resilience against disinformation, and management of airspace increasingly being used by commercially sourced drones. Learn more about "fighting in a fishbowl" and how we develop training scenarios to represent what military organizations will face on operations: https://hubs.li/Q02c84rM0 Please visit our Calian Defence Solutions Hub for more @https://lnkd.in/eYbKzM2d #defence #defense #doctrine #military #militarytraining #cyber #informationdomain Note: Articles posted or shared on this Calian Defence Solutions site are for informational purposes only.

Strengthening our national defense is crucial for safeguarding freedom. As history has shown, it's in times of weakness that tyrants are tempted. Selfridge Airforce Base has long been the source of some of our greatest freedom fighters in history. Supporting the funding for the F-35 fighter force at Selfridge is an investment in ensuring the forces of freedom stay strong and deter potential threats. #Selfridge #Defense #Security #F35🇺🇸

From DefenseScoop, a compelling overview of the Army’s non-kinetic capabilities, and their potential impact on the Multi-Domain Task Force. Gen. Flynn of Army Pacific states “The joint advances that are made by the Multi-Domain Task Force are critical in land contributions to the joint force”. How will EW and cyber capabilities change Army strategy and planning? Will they help cut costs, as Gen. George suggests? https://lnkd.in/egHevUNz
