Synopsis
Electronic Warfare (EW) has always been about information�gaining information (ES), denying information (EA),
and protecting information (EP). In addition to its traditional uses, EW technology is expanding into offensive
and defensive control of communications, deception, and protection of intelligence.
The Joint Electronic Warfare Conference provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of technical
material (both at the secret and top secret clearance levels) related to all aspects of electronic warfare.
Since 1955, the Services have conducted an annual Joint Electronic Warfare Conference. The United States
Army and Air Force personnel were the primary conference participants. Marine Corp participation started in
1962 and the United States Navy became an Executive Committee member in 1966. The conference agenda has been
carefully selected to address current and future needs of the operational users, planners, developers,
procurers, testers, and trainers of the latest EW technologies and systems.
