The 2026 edition at Point Mugu combined U.S.-only Secret sessions with Secret material releasable to Australia and the United Kingdom, concentrating on coalition EW synergies in peer conflict and on the use of unmanned and autonomous systems. The event operates close to an operational testing community rather than as a general trade show. Its value is the convergence of [[wiki/SIGINT|signals intelligence]], jamming, sensing, platform integration, and [[wiki/Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations|electromagnetic spectrum operations]] under explicit classification and releasability rules. ## Relationships - **organizer:** [[wiki/Association of Old Crows|Association of Old Crows]]. - **installation and technical partner:** Point Mugu and [[wiki/Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division|Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division]]. - **alliance context:** AUKUS partners and [[wiki/Five Eyes|Five Eyes]]. - **event ecosystem:** [[wiki/Intelligence and Defense Conferences|Intelligence and Defense Conferences]]. - **collection route:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]]. ## Sources / Provenance - [Association of Old Crows — Collaborative EW 2026](https://crows.org/event/collaborative-ew-2026/) - [Association of Old Crows — mission-critical summits](https://crows.org/events/summits/)
