Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority in Modern Times Training by Tonex
This two-day course provides an in-depth understanding of the critical role of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in modern defense, security, and operational strategy. Participants will explore the technologies, tactics, and policies that underpin electromagnetic spectrum superiority, with a focus on countering adversarial exploitation, managing spectrum resources, and leveraging emerging technologies. Through practical workshops and case studies, participants will gain the skills needed to assess EMS vulnerabilities, plan for spectrum operations, and achieve dominance in contested environments.
