Dr. Thomas Withington on the EMSO Mission Gap","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":2348,"description":"Electromagnetic spectrum operations touch nearly every part of modern warfare, yet the mission still has no clear owner.\nFor today’s conversation, Ken Miller sits down with Armada International editor and military historian Dr. Thomas Withington to break down why EMSO remains so hard to organize and prioritize. Together, they discuss whether a dedicated EMSO authority could coordinate the services and cut duplicate procurement, then they walk through a hypothetical GPS-jamming crisis in the Baltic to ask who would lead the military and civilian response if critical infrastructure were hit. They also make the case for distributed, affordable land EW systems, drawing on Ukraine’s real-world testing experience, and ask whether NATO needs an EW version of Red Flag.\nWe invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at host@fromthecrowsnest.org or by visiting us on our Instagram @fromthecrowsnestpodcast.\nTo learn more about today’s topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0xyDmcsi049b8p477jyLV42LdDsVawpXfYUkdnE0LhI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5OTQxLzE2NjIw/NTExMDctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
