Hypersonic and Electromagnetic Warfare. What you need to know


In November 2022, the Australian Communications and Media Authority held the biggest spectrum management event since 2007. The conference consisted of government, industry, analysts, researchers and Australian Defence interested in spectrum reform and innovation.

Australia's world- class electromagentic warfare research centre officially opened in October 2022 by Chief of Joint Capabilities, Lieutenant General John Frewan. A purpose built, first-class laboratory to test the survivability of Defence platforms on the electomagnetic spectrum.



I follow the American/National Endowment for Democracy Think Tanks in Australia. David Wroe speaks to David Waterhouse, Managing Director of Hypersonix, they discuss how hypersonic technology fits into defence strategy (2nd June 2023). They outline hypersonic development had been delayed because AUKUS Pillar II was essential to fast tracking the project. Trilaterally developing and providing joint advanced military capabilites.


They also sound elated, the hypersonic and electromagnetic warfare industries do not have any restrictive treaties or agreements.



InnovationsAus report on public policy and business innovations, it also has a heavy American/National Endowment for Democracy Undertone, on the 4th of August they reported Arthur Sinodinos a former Australian ambassador to the United States, and earlier spent a decade as chief of staff to Prime Minister John Howard has been strategically positioned to identify specific threats and opportunities for Australia's industrial base.



I will mention Arthur Sinodinos was accused of potentially misleading Parliament in 2016.


The American/National Endowment for Democracy Think Tanks are holding a conference from the 14th - 15th of September, Disruption and Deterrence, the list of sponsors should raise your eyebrows.



Thales proposes to acquire Tesserent one of Australia and New Zealand's largest cybersecurity companies. Thales is also mentioned in the Radcomm's 2022, Australian Defence Strategy and the main sponsor for Disruption and Deterrence: The 2023 ASPI Conference.



Hypersonic and Electromagnetic Warfare requires treaty immediately,
