Shaping the Future of Warfare: NUARI’s Role in Groundbreaking EMSO Camp

NUARI is proud to support and participate in Norwich University’s larger strategy, delivering cutting-edge experiential learning that blends technical expertise with strategic thinking, particularly in cyber and hybrid warfare.

In the long tradition of pioneering military education, Norwich University has once again stepped to the front of the line. Last month, the University hosted its first-ever Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) camp, a landmark program designed to introduce students to military operations within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) as a maneuver space. With this initiative, Norwich affirms its role as a national leader in immersive EMSO education—preparing future professionals to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving spectrum environment.

The experience was created under the vision of Dr. Sharon R. Hamilton, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Principal Investigator of the DoD Cyber Institutes program, to integrate Cyber and EMSO education. That vision was realized through a hands-on, student-centered experience designed and led by Jack Skoda, AVP of Cybersecurity Research at NUARI, and Cecil McGee, President of Electronic Warfare Professionals, LLC (EWP). Together, they bring over 50 years of combined experience in cyber, EMSO, and defense training — blending academic innovation with real-world operational insight.
