2026 Theme: Re-Arming Europe for Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority
The need to establish and maintain electromagnetic spectrum superiority as an enabling feature of national and collective European security has become even more critical. This is a result of new electromagnetic tactics and operations in the Russo-Ukrainian War and hybrid actions towards European nations. AOC Europe 2026 seeks to address the current trends in Nordic and European concepts, doctrinal evolution, and capability implementation in an increasingly competitive geopolitical and EMS environment.

The dominance and magnitude of unmanned platforms in the battlefield, the denial of PNT/GNSS data, and the expanding use of networked EW systems present new challenges for allied and NATO forces in Europe. Can Europe innovate fast enough in this demanding environment to assure superiority and control of the electromagnetic spectrum?
