We will be at the 2026 AOC Maple Leaf EMSO Symposium at the Ottawa Conference & Event Centre on 15-16 April. This year’s theme is From Concept to Combat, Powering EMSO Success, and we’re exciting to showcase our emerging defence technologies for the Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO).

The AOC Maple Leaf Symposium offers an unmatched opportunity for professionals to share global research, exchange ideas, and collaborate on the future solutions of EMSO.
