The Army has ‘owned the night’; now it must own the electromagnetic spectrum
The Army's push to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum mirrors its historic night-vision advantage, but the stakes are higher: adversaries can contest the spectrum cheaply and continuously. This shift demands integrated EW, spectrum sensing, and resilient comms across every echelon. For industry, it signals sustained demand for modular EW payloads, AI-driven spectrum management, and protected SATCOM. Procurement will favor open architectures and rapid software updates over monolithic systems. The real test is whether the Army can field these capabilities at scale before peer competitors normalize spectrum denial as a default condition.
