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.

By establishing a standardized infrastructure, this initiative enables a…
