ABERDEEN CHAPTER CHAPTER - Oct 30, 2024

Joint Event Discusses Electronic Warfare and Cyber Priorities

In October, the chapter once again joined forces with the local Association of Old Crows (AOC) Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG)-Susquehanna Roost to offer a joint luncheon. Featuring a panel discussion by representatives of Project Manager Electronic Warfare & Cyber (PM EW&C), this event highlighted priorities related to the development and fielding of integrated capabilities for spectrum warfare.

The distinguished panelists included Noel H. Lynkew, product lead, Electronic Attack; Lt. Col. John P. Cross, USA, product manager, Terrestrial Spectrum Warfare; Lt. Col. Troy D. Merkel, USA, product manager, Electronic Warfare Integration; and Garry Moore, product lead, Strategic Spectrum Warfare. Each panelist provided an overview of their portfolio, including future priorities and upcoming opportunities for industry collaboration. This engagement with industry partners is critical to deliver Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare, Electronic Attack Protection Support, and Mobile and Adaptive Solutions for Joint All-Domain Operations. The event included an interactive Q&A session, led by moderator Fran Orzech, chief of the Tech Management Division at PM EW&C, and a Small Business Spotlight Presentation from DCI Solutions, a local small business with expertise in cybersecurity, artificial Intelligence, systems engineering, health care IT engineering, and program management.

The chapter would like to thank its panel of speakers for their insightful discussion and the staff at Water's Edge Events Center for hosting the event. The chapter would also like to thank its colleagues at AOC APG-Susquehanna for collaborating on another successful event, which drew in more than 100 attendees.
