Thursday's Theme: Looking Toward the Future

It's the final day of AOC 2022, and what a week we've had so far – outstanding speakers and presentations and lots of energy in the exhibit hall.

Our theme, today, is "Looking Toward the Future." Our future doesn't simply happen on its own. We create EMSO's future by developing a vision, building strategies and shaping culture. Some questions to ponder are:

• Enabling Technologies: What are some of the enabling technologies from outside the EMSO ecosystem that you want to become available in the next 5-10 years? How can you connect to those development communities to send a demand signal?

• Stovepipes: Many aspects of today's EMS enterprise were established decades ago. What are the major stovepipes across EMSO organizations, processes, training, professional development, etc. that we need to break down to deliver better and faster solutions for the warfighter? Where would you begin tearing down stovepipes in your organization today to reshape it for tomorrow?

• Industrial Base: The DOD is reshaping the EW and SIGINT industry through new acquisition pathways and related acquisition initiatives, such as defining software and hardware standards. How will these developments continue to influence the structure of the EW and SIGINT industry going forward?
