The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is an increasingly competitive domain. The joint force creates effects both in the EMS and through the EMS into all other warfighting domains. If we lose the fight in the EMS, we will lose the fight in all other domains. Our spectrum warfare panel represents all aspects of the Air Force’s EMS enterprise. They will cover a range of spectrum warfare concepts, plans, and requirements, including a report on the Air Force’s consolidation of EMS capabilities into the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing. Please listen to the discussion with Lt Gen Dave Deptula, USAF (Ret.), Dean of the Mitchell Institute, and his guests:
Maj Gen Daniel L. Simpson, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance,
Col William E. Young Jr., Commander of the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing,
Maj Gen Ken Israel (Ret.), Former Assistant Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Airborne Reconnaissance
Ken Dworkin, (SES, Ret) Executive Advisor, Electromagnetic Combat – Booz Allen Hamilton

The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our rollout for our newest policy paper: Beyond Pixie Dust: A Framework for Understanding and Developing Autonomy in Unmanned Aircraft by Heather Penney, Senior Resident Fellow, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies, and Maj Christopher Olsen, USAF, with Foreword by Lt Gen David Deptula, USAF (Ret.) They are joined by Jean-Charles Ledé, Commander’s Autonomy Technical Advisor at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
Nearly every vision, strategy, and flight plan the U.S. Air Force has released over the past decade identified next-generation unmanned aircraft, autonomy, and artificial intelligence as technologies that are critical to securing a decisive combat advantage in future battlespaces. The Air Force is now developing new operational concepts for teaming manned fighters and bombers with autonomous UAVs—called manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T)—to perform strikes, counterair, electronic warfare, and other missions.
Developing this capability is challenging given the disconnect that often exists between warfighters and engineers. Warfighters have a deep understanding of all tasks in the battlespace that could apply different levels of autonomy in theory. Engineers conversely understand better how to develop the specific algorithms and technologies to enable autonomy, but not how they apply in real-world battlespace applications.
A framework that represents both the warfighter and the engineer perspectives would provide a structure and common understanding for these two communities in creating autonomous systems that deliver needed capabilities. The Air Force needs this framework to better understand autonomous technologies and help guide the enterprise toward future AI-empowered U.S. operations.

The Mitchell Institute invites you to watch a discussion with Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, who expounds on his seven operational imperatives for the Department of the Air Force.
After decades focused on fighting terrorism, the Air Force and Space Force must be reconfigured to address a dramatically changed security environment. The threatening rise of China is of prime concern, while Russia continues to encroach on the interests of the United States and its allies. The course ahead requires clear lines of effort and a strong sense of urgency.

The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to a discussion with the RAND Corporation’s Lt Gen Frank Klotz, USAF (ret) and Dr. Alexandra Evans to discuss their recent report, Modernizing the U.S. Nuclear Triad, The Rationale for a New Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.
Retired Lt Gen Klotz and Dr Evans discuss with retired Lt Gen Deptula, Dean of the Mitchell Institute how the Air Force should more strongly and publicly message:
• That our adversaries have not been asleep for the last 30 years and, through nuclear investments and modernization programs, now pose a real strategic risk to U.S. security.
• That recapitalization of the ICBM force can no longer be deferred without sacrificing performance and incurring additional costs.
• That we need the new capabilities that GBSD will provide to secure the nation’s global interests and defend the homeland.

The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our rollout for our newest policy paper: Maneuver Warfare in Space: The Strategic Mandate for Nuclear Thermal Propulsion by Christopher Stone, Senior Fellow for Space Studies for the Mitchell Institute’s Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence (MI-SPACE).
In an era where space is an increasingly contested domain, it is crucial to ensure satellites can maneuver to avoid threats and position themselves to best net mission effects. This demands new propulsion solutions. Panelists Dr. Ron Faibish, Senior Director of Strategic Development at General Atomics – Electromagnetic Systems Group; Dr. Micheal Leahy, Director of the Tactical Technology Office at DARPA; and Stone discuss why DOD must adopt a new force design that includes satellites with nuclear propulsion that are of capable of decisive defensive and offensive maneuver warfare operations in space.

The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our virtual rollout for our newest policy paper, The Backbone of JADC2: Satellite Communications for Information Age Warfare by Gen Kevin P. Chilton, USAF (Ret.), Mitchell Institute's Explorer Chair for Space Warfighting Studies and Lukas Autenried, Senior Analyst at the Mitchell Institute’s Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence (MI-SPACE). Defense experts fundamentally agree that Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) will prove critical in future military operations. To put it simply, information and decision superiority will spell the difference between victory and defeat. Satellite communications will serve as the backbone for this vision. Gen Chilton and Autenried will be joined by Stephen Forbes, Blackjack program manager at DARPA, and Dr. David Voss, Director of the Spectrum Warfare Center of Excellence at the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC), to discuss this important topic. Blackjack is a joint DARPA/SSC/AFRL program that is helping pioneer next generation space constellations and SWAC is responsible for developing future force design guidance for the Space Force, including for its SATCOM enterprise.
