The Association of Old Crows (AOC), established in 1964, is a global professional organisation dedicated to advancing electronic warfare, electromagnetic spectrum operations and information-related capabilities. With an international network of members and chapters across multiple regions, the AOC brings together military personnel, government representatives, engineers, researchers, industry professionals and academics who share a common interest in strengthening defence and security through technology, operational excellence and collaboration.
The term “Old Crows” has its roots in the early evolution of electronic warfare during the Second World War, when radar countermeasure specialists played a critical role in shaping the future of modern operations. Today, the name represents a global community focused on the challenges and opportunities of the electromagnetic battlespace, cyber operations and information superiority in an increasingly complex security environment.
