Criticality of SpectrumCriticality of Spectrum

• Control of the spectrum is a strategic capability; necessary for every conflict in the foreseeable future.

• Adversaries will exploit our gaps in spectrum and EW operations, technology, and training.

• EW proponency across DoD is distributed through multiple organizations across the services.

• A healthy and joint EW capability is vital to U.S. warfighters. It always has and will continue to save lives.
