Enjoyed this episode or the podcast in general? Send me a text message:A carrier strike doesn't start with bombs, it starts with knowing what's watching you. Today I'm telling the story of the ES-3A Shadow, one of the Navy's most unusual aircraft and one of its most valuable: a carrier-based SIGINT and ELINT platform designed to listen, identify, and geolocate enemy radar and communications while orbiting safely outside SAM range. With its spine canoe, bulbous fairings, and more than 60 antennas, the Shadow looked odd on the flight deck, but it could build an electronic order of battle that made every other jet smarter and safer.We break down electronic warfare in practical terms, separating electronic attack from electronic intelligence, and then walk through why the S-3 Viking was such a strong foundation for a long-endurance reconnaissance aircraft. From the Shadow's Ares II-derived mission suite to the AN/ALR-76 receiver system and APS-137 ISAR imaging, you'll hear how it could sort dense radio frequency chaos, spot low-probability-of-intercept radar behavior, and even help ID ships at range for over-the-horizon targeting.Then we get into the human side: four crew members working in a cramped, dim cabin, plus maintainers fighting salt air, catapult shocks, and nonstop tempo to keep a tiny fleet of 16 jets mission-ready. Finally, we dig into the most controversial chapter, the 1999 retirement and the budget choices that left carrier air wings without organic SIGINT for years, before comparing the Shadow's passive persistence to the EA-18G Growler's networked, kinetic approach and asking what a “Shadow 2” could look like today.If you enjoyed this deep dive into naval aviation history, electronic warfare, and intelligence support to strike operations, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Join Dr. John Mueller, Co-Founder & CEO of Orion Edge Group, for a candid conversation on building a defense technology company from the ground up — and why the future of modern warfare is being decided in the electromagnetic spectrum.John co-founded Orion Edge alongside a fellow veteran after seeing firsthand the gaps in tactical electronic warfare: systems that were too detectable on the spectrum, deployed too high up the chain, and never in the hands of the small units that needed them most. "This is stuff we wish we had in the field when we were still on active duty," he said. In this episode, we dig into how Orion Edge is growing fast — across both government and commercial markets — and what it takes to build a defense startup that gets systems into the field.

Live at the Space Symposium, Constellations spoke with Colonel Eddie Gutierrez who discussed rapid capability delivery, near peer readiness and the importance of integrating operators, acquirers and industry partners to shorten development cycles. He highlights the need for adaptable Guardians, improved targeting and resilient global EW operations, emphasizing that owning the spectrum is critical for joint force success. The conversation underscores how unified vision, reduced process barriers and mission-focused collaboration enable the Space Force to field effective EW systems faster than ever.

How can Australia keep pace with the rapid proliferation of drones reshaping the character of warfare and creating new challenges for militaries, governments and critical infrastructure operators around the world? In this episode of the Defence Connect Spotlight podcast, senior journalist Robert Dougherty is joined by Ben Westgarth, chief executive officer of Department 13, to discuss the evolution of counter-uncrewed aerial system technology and Australia's role in developing sovereign capability. Dougherty and Westgarth examine the significance of Project LAND 156, the Australian Defence Force's program to establish a layered counter-drone capability capable of detecting, tracking and defeating emerging aerial threats. The pair explore the role of radio frequency detection technologies in modern electronic warfare, highlighting how Department 13's capabilities contribute to situational awareness and threat detection across increasingly complex operating environments. They discuss the changing nature of drone warfare, drawing lessons from contemporary conflicts where low-cost, rapidly adaptable drone systems are challenging traditional military capabilities. Westgarth outlines how focusing on the fundamental characteristics of drone systems, rather than individual models, can provide a more enduring framework for counter-drone development. Looking beyond defence applications, the pair discuss the importance of dual-use technologies, balancing commercial opportunities with national security requirements. Westgarth highlights the growing need for layered detection, warning and response systems to defend military installations, government facilities and essential national assets against emerging drone threats.

What actually decides who lives in contested airspace is who can sense, sort, jam, and adapt faster across the electromagnetic spectrum, and that's why the F-35 is getting a nearly billion-dollar Barracuda electronic warfare upgrade. We walk through what the AN/ASQ-239 is built to do, why wideband transmitters and smarter receivers matter against modern, networked air defense systems, and how this refresh is meant to turn the jet into a far more aggressive digital threat.We also get real about the bottlenecks nobody memes about: heat, power, and integration. The more the F-35 becomes a flying supercomputer, the more PTMS cooling limits become mission limits. Then we unpack the collaborative side of stealth, from passive detection to MADL networking and time difference of arrival math that can triangulate a radar and cue a focused AESA beam for a fast shot.Next comes the spicy part: TR3 and Block 4. The hardware leap is massive, but the software has been unstable enough to delay deliveries, force truncated builds, and keep upgraded jets in training roles. From there, we look at the hopeful path forward with Project Overwatch and cognitive electronic warfare, where onboard AI can recognize new signals, retrain quickly, and push updates back to the fleet, plus quantum-resistant encryption aimed at the next cyber fight.If you care about the future of electronic warfare, airpower modernization, and what your defense dollars are really buying, hit play, then subscribe, share the show, and leave a review.

Guest: General Blaine Holt. The operation in Caracas revealed that Chinese-made air defense systems failed to detect U.S. aircraft. Electronic warfare capabilities and stealth technology likely blinded radars, rendering Russian missile systems useless. This success signals a crackdown on illicit networks, alerting regional leaders to U.S. resolve.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Dr. Josh "Bugsy" Segal recaps his recent observations from the Ukraine battlefield and concerns for Western governments which don't adapt quickly. Ukraine's rapid development of sophisticated, cost-effective domestic defense technology, including advanced counter-drone systems, is positioning the nation as a key arms supplier of the future. This innovation highlights a critical national security concern for the U.S., as expensive Western weapons have proven ineffective against Russian countermeasures, and the American defense industry is failing to incorporate vital battlefield insights. To maintain its global defense sector dominance, the U.S. must accept its current competitive disadvantage and immediately prioritize collaboration with Ukraine to integrate its effective, relevant technology.

How does her extensive military, warfare, and leadership experience pay off? As you'll hear, Patricia is a hands-on leader, ready to make decisions and challenge dogma in dozens of important ways. In many ways she exemplifies the future leadership model for all C-level leaders, especially the CHRO. Patricia shares how she is navigating the opportunities presented by AI, reshaping talent strategies, and fostering a culture of innovation. Her background as a senior military leader prepared her to build on the team available today, supporting employee mobility, agility, and HR capabilities. Notable Quotes “You go to combat with the team you have, not necessarily the team you want. You can't just hire in someone and say I want to bring you in my team and put you in close combat. Your team is your team. And you build that team. You build on their skill sets. We do a lot of upskilling in the military. It's your team. You know everyone's strengths and weaknesses.” “Middle managers are really the powerhouse of any company. And I don't know that we spend enough time on our managers, probably our frontline managers, and then the middle management. How well do they understand their teams and the skills within their teams and understand also what people are passionate about? Where would they like to go? What opportunities can be open to them?” “I am front and center. I think every CHRO needs to be front and center in the AI conversation. They need to be leading. They need to be talking about, will AI take away certain functions within HR? First, we had to take the anxiety down from our workforce. So my approach this year is leave no one behind. I am going to give everyone the opportunity. We're going to give everyone the same set of tools and training, and I will help you get there. Everyone has a choice.” Like this podcast? Rate us on Spotify or Apple or YouTube.

The Association of Old Crows (AOC) wants to make our podcast the best it can be. To help us succeed, we'd like to hear your thoughts. Please take just a few minutes to complete our 2025 listener survey because your opinion is very important to us. In honor of Women's History Month, host Ken Miller and guest co-host Hollann Schwartz are joined in this episode of From the Crows' Nest by E&M Operations Manager and AOC member Christelle Ward. Christelle's new initiative, Empowering Women in Electronic Warfare, aims to build a group of EW women that support, uplift and empower women entering this male-dominated industry.Christelle has played many roles in armed service: a service member for the Navy, an instructor or contractor for the Army and a spouse of a member of the Marine Corps. Within the EW world, Christelle says she wants her new initiative to serve as a way for women to connect, share experiences in both the academia and industry side of the field.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.

EA-6B Pilot Matthew Maher and Electronic Countermeasures Officer Ethan Williams dive deep into the world of electronic warfare with a spotlight on the legendary EA-6B Prowler.In this episode, our guests take us back into the cockpit, explore the complex jamming systems that helped protect air and ground crews, landing on a pitching aircraft carrier, and multi-aircraft missions. We also answer several audience questions about the Prowler. After all, we do this all for you! This one is going to be cool!Key Takeaways:Our guests were inspired to join the Navy at a young age. Matthew grew up watching airshows and Space Shuttle launches and Ethan came from an Air Force family, but decided to attend the Naval Academy.Landing on an aircraft carrier is tough, especially in the Prowler.

In Ukraine, for instance, inexpensive drones are regularly used to take out much larger, multi-million-dollar military assets. This shift shows how accessible tech is transforming the nature of warfare.The Importance of Spectrum Dominance: A central theme of the conversation is the increasing importance of controlling the electromagnetic spectrum in modern warfare. Mintz explains that the ability to maintain secure communications, disrupt enemy signals, and ensure the operation of autonomous systems is critical. As battlefields become more technologically complex, controlling the spectrum becomes as important as physical dominance.Hard Tech's Role in Military Innovation: Nathan highlights the growing importance of hard tech—physical hardware solutions like satellites, drones, and electronic warfare systems—in the defense industry, especially in regions like LA. While software has dominated in areas like San Francisco, LA has become a key hub for aerospace, space tech, and hard tech innovations, crucial for the future of defense technology.Dual-Use Technologies in Defense: A significant insight is the role of dual-use technologies, where products developed for consumer or commercial markets are adapted for military use. Technologies like drones, which have everyday applications, are being repurposed for the battlefield. This shift allows for more cost-effective, scalable solutions to military challenges, marking a departure from traditional defense industry practices.The Future of Manned-Unmanned Teaming: Nathan describes how the future of military operations will involve manned-unmanned teaming, where humans will act as "quarterbacks" managing a fleet of autonomous drones and systems. This strategy is designed to leverage the strengths of AI and automation while keeping humans in the loop to make critical decisions in contested or unpredictable environments.Electronic Warfare as a Key Battlefield Domain: One of Nathan's key points is that electronic warfare is becoming a primary battlefield domain. Modern warfare increasingly involves not just physical attacks but also the disruption of enemy communications, navigation, and targeting systems. This form of warfare can neutralize advanced technologies by jamming signals or launching cyber-attacks, making it a vital aspect of future conflicts.Innovation in Warfare through Startups: Nathan discusses how small defense tech startups like CX2 are becoming crucial to military innovation. These companies are building nimble, affordable solutions for modern challenges, contrasting with the traditional defense contractors that build massive, expensive systems. This shift allows for quicker development and deployment of technologies tailored to the changing face of warfare.
