OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. – U.S. Strategic Command’s Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Center is launching ETHEREAL FORGE, a new initiative designed to accelerate the deployment of advanced electromagnetic warfare capabilities and strengthen operational effectiveness in the electromagnetic spectrum Through this effort, the JEC is conducting rapid, iterative testing and evaluation of software-centric systems to meet operational requirements. Congressionally-funded, ETHEREAL FORGE supports the United States and its allies in maintaining a technological edge by focusing on Modular Open Systems Approach compatible systems.

AnnMarie Anthony, the JEC director. “ETHEREAL FORGE creates a structured, funded mechanism to test innovative solutions to complex EMS challenges and provide acquisition decision-makers with the operationally informed data that they need to move quickly.” ETHEREAL FORGE provides an operationally relevant environment to accelerate the maturation and fielding of software-centric EW capabilities, significantly reducing time-to-field. By establishing a standardized infrastructure, this initiative enables a…
