02 Dec 21. Readout from Tech Track II Symposium. Department of Defense Spokeswoman Jessica Maxwell provided the following readout: Chief of Staff of the Air Force General CQ Brown, Jr., Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Policy Jesse Salazar, and Chief Technology Officer of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center Nand Mulchandani, joined technologists, venture capital leaders, and other U.S. government officials at Tech Track II Symposium, hosted by the Hoover Institution at Stanford University Dec. 1, 2021.
The symposium focused on enhancing the bonds between the department and Silicon Valley, and moving forward on common strategic objectives. Participants at the event discussed several key topics such as: implementing industrial policies, enhancing acquisition and procurement practices, improving cybersecurity infrastructure, and facilitating technology investment.
Speakers identified key areas of collaboration on securing supply chains in critical sectors such as semiconductors and partnering for innovation in emerging domains, such as artificial intelligence and space.

AOC Europe
AOC Europe connects organisations and individuals across government, defence, industry, and academia to promote the exchange of ideas and information, and review the latest advances in electromagnetic and information-related fields. With a history spanning more than 25 years, AOC Europe is the Association of Old Crows’ flagship international event with 70+ manufacturers and 1000+ attendees from 40+ countries coming together to engage, innovate and network and to discuss all things within this dedicated sector.
Our 2022 conference theme:
Integrating Electromagnetic Effects across all Domains
The control of the electromagnetic spectrum is a fundamental requirement in modern warfare in all domains whether land, sea air, space, information or cyber. Systems operating in these domains must be able to communicate, make decisions, share information and take actions in a coordinated, controlled and effective manner using the electromagnetic spectrum.
To achieve and maintain this dominance, electronic warfare, radar, navigation, situational awareness and other information and communication systems require significant levels of integration and interoperability across all types of platforms and in all domains. Innovative integrated systems requirements, applications and enabling technologies will be considered from intelligence data gathering, analysis and data fusion through to the deployment of countermeasures and other actions that use the electromagnetic spectrum.
