Can you imagine a day where cars suddenly stop on the interstate, access to wifi is lost, radio signals become garbled, and the power grid goes completely dark? These catastrophic scenarios could occur if the world ineffectively managed the "invisible space" consisting of the Electromagnetic Spectrum and other directed energies. Adversaries are constantly seeking to gain control of this critical battle space via Electronic Warfare (EW).
Join us as COL Daniel Holland provides an EXCITING overview of Electronic Warfare and why Fort Gordon was chosen as the new home for this unique mission.
