Workshop Information
The annual GTRI Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) Workshop provides a forum for warfighters, program leaders, engineers, and other capability developers to gain different perspectives on EMSO needs, developing concepts, and technological innovation. The theme of the 2024 workshop is “Disruptive EMSO” and includes focused discussion on directed energy (DE) and high-power microwave (HPM), EMSO test and evaluation (T&E), and modeling and simulation (M&S). The workshop is also offering tutorials drawn from professional education classes and tours of EMSO technologies under development, if attendees’ travel allows. We will hold this year’s event at the SECRET//NOFORN level.
