Notes de l’épisode
An electromagnetic warfare capability only counts if a warfighter can use it. But once it reaches the field, the adversary starts working on a way to beat it.
For today’s conversation, Ken Miller sits down with Andy Martin, Senior Scientific Technical Manager and Distinguished Engineer for Advanced Electronic Warfare at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), to break down what “speed of relevance” means for EMSO capabilities. Together, they discuss Navy acquisition reform and the shift from PEOs to PAEs, how Crane tests effects nobody can see, and why open architecture and rapid reprogramming help fielded systems keep up with new threats. They also talk about how a culture of candor among engineers helps make interoperability possible.

Electromagnetic spectrum operations touch nearly every part of modern warfare, yet the mission still has no clear owner.
For today’s conversation, Ken Miller sits down with Armada International editor and military historian Dr. Thomas Withington to break down why EMSO remains so hard to organize and prioritize. Together, they discuss whether a dedicated EMSO authority could coordinate the services and cut duplicate procurement, then they walk through a hypothetical GPS-jamming crisis in the Baltic to ask who would lead the military and civilian response if critical infrastructure were hit. They also make the case for distributed, affordable land EW systems, drawing on Ukraine’s real-world testing experience, and ask whether NATO needs an EW version of Red Flag.

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode of From the Crows’ Nest, Ken Miller is joined by Mike Alperi, Deputy Program Manager of PMS 408 Expeditionary Missions Program Office at the Naval Sea Systems Command, to talk about his involvement in NATO Subgroup One and its cross-country collaborative Thor’s Hammer exercise — an initiative that allows systems from different nations to be tested side-by-side against cutting edge UAS and IED threats.
Alperi says the annual four-week program has greatly expanded over the last decade, growing from five participating nations in 2015 to 14 countries last year. Crucially, he says the scope of Thor’s Hammer has grown over the years, from just counter-ID and counter-UAS training to countering emerging small radio frequency threats.
Alperi says the subgroup shares the information from these tests with participating countries around the world, making sure key allies have the best information available as EW technologies continue to rapidly evolve.

Between the Russo-Ukrainian War and the looming threat of China invading Taiwan, the landscape of global conflict has changed… and today’s guest says the strategies for U.S. dominance have to change along with it.
In this episode of From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller joins retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General David Deptula, current Dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Power Studies to examine what America is doing right and wrong in efforts to meet new threats worldwide.
Deptula said that while the United States has built a spectrum of systems that give the nation and its allies a technological advantage, America hasn’t kept pace with building enough capacity to deter adversaries around the world. Deptula says officials need to steer away from just trying to optimize existing systems and recommit building the military services branches back up to meet new regional conflicts as they arise.
