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.

Four countries, one test range, and a shared problem: How do you stop a drone or a remote-detonated bomb before it does damage?
Ken Miller is back with more on NATO's Thor's Hammer 2026 exercise, this time talking with military and industry experts from Norway, Australia, Germany, and the US. They discuss how RF signal suppression holds up in terrain that doesn't cooperate, why comparing notes matters as much as the equipment itself, and why having someone outside your own country check your results tends to catch things you'd miss on your own.We invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at [email protected] or by visiting us on our Instagram @fromthecrowsnestpodcast.

Winning in the electromagnetic spectrum requires two things: the right strategy and the technology to back it up. This episode tackles both.
Ken Miller is joined by Dr. Thomas Withington of Armada International and Alasdair Gilchrist of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to examine what achieving spectrum superiority actually demands today, why European defense strategies are under pressure, and what the concept of “smart kill” reveals about where modern electromagnetic warfare is heading.
Then, Ken sits down with Gabby Bailado of Keysight Technologies to explore how scalable testing platforms are reshaping EW development and why the line between commercial and military technology is blurring faster than most people realize.

Shownotes
In the second installment of our series, host Ken Miller builds on our previous episode’s exploration of the “crow” identity and what it represents within the electromagnetic warfare (EW) and spectrum operations community.
In this episode, Ken is joined by Sergeant Brandon Smith to dive deeper into the connection between crow behavior and modern electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO). They explore how traits commonly associated with crows, like intelligence, adaptability, and collaboration, mirror the skills required of today’s EMSO warfighters.Ken and Brandon break down the realities of EW and spectrum management in today’s operational environment, where success depends the ability to think strategically, adapt quickly, and stay ahead of evolving threats. By the end of the conversation, they make a compelling case: The crow isn’t just a nickname, it’s a mindset.

What really separates winning militaries from losing ones? It may come down to something far less tangible than weapons or technology.
In today’s episode, host Ken Miller sits down with Brian Clark, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, to explore a critical – and often overlooked – factor shaping modern warfare: adaptation. Drawing on insights from recent conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, the conversation examines how the ability to adjust in real time can determine success on the battlefield.
Together, they unpack how rapidly evolving technologies, shifting tactics, and organizational agility are redefining what military advantage really looks like today, without relying on any single breakthrough capability.

In discussions of electromagnetic warfare, experts and enthusiasts often discuss the lethal and destructive capabilities of the technology. But effective disruption is a key element to mission success, and today’s guest is at the forefront of conversations on agility and cost effectiveness in the EW space.
But first, host Ken Miller welcomes John Knowles, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Electromagnetic Dominance (JED), AOC’s official monthly publication. Ken and John wrap up AOC 2025 by sharing highlights of the week’s keynote speakers and sessions.
Then, Ken speaks with Disruptive EW Machines CEO David Coyle about the role of EW disruption in operation success and making sure warfighters are as agile and adaptive as possible.
Coyle says his company can deploy systems at a fraction of the cost of other legacy systems, reflecting a larger push from the Department of War to quickly deploy agile, adaptive systems. Coyle says this approach reflects the reality of modern electromagnetic warfare, which requires warfighters to rapidly build and train tactics against newer, more complex unidentified threats.

Since the founding of America’s first centralized modern intelligence agency during World War II, today’s guest Anthony Vinci says that current agencies have undergone several revolutions in how espionage was done. But Vinci says we’re in the midst of a fourth revolution, changing the rules of espionage for nations and non-state actors alike.
In this episode of From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller is joined by Vinci, a former intelligence officer and author of “The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America.” Vinci says new asymmetric approaches to espionage combined with emerging technology has democratized intelligence, putting civilians at risk and threatening to leave America’s agencies at a disadvantage if they don’t adapt.

Shownotes
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.
