PODCAST
 
This episode is free to listen to during the month of March in recognition of Women’s History Month.
In this exclusive episode of "From the Crows' Nest," host Ken Miller welcomes friend and subject matter expert, Laurie Buckhout. Laurie is a retired US Army Colonel, small-business owner and EW subject matter expert. She also was the first chief of the US Army EW Division. Ken and Laurie discuss the challenging global security environment and the need to cultivate leadership and invest in and field advanced non-kinetic capabiliites, including Electromagnetic Warfare and Cyber.
 
 
Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO), driving innovation and accelerating decision-making in ways we are only beginning to understand. In a recent episode of From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller sat down with Rob Hyland, Principal Scientist and Director of Transition at Charles River Analytics, to explore how AI is transforming this field and the challenges we must overcome to stay ahead in the great power competition.

In my recent book, "Relativistic Field Theory for Microwave Engineers," I discuss the often-overlooked connection between Maxwell's equations and Einstein's theory of special relativity. Electrical engineers, especially those who work in the areas of microwaves and wireless radio technology, are well-positioned to have a unique perspective on these subjects, as it was wave solutions to Maxwell's equations, revealing for the first time that light is an electromagnetic wave, which motivated special relativity in the first place.
