AOC Asia 2026: Closing the Gaps in Indo-Pacific EW Readiness

Okay, my first guest today is JP.

JP serves on the AOC Board of Directors as the Regional Director for Region 2, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region.

He is also one of the key players in planning for AOC Asia.

JP, thank you for joining me here on From the Crow's Nest from AOC Asia 2026.

It's great to have you on the show.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ken.

And, you know, thanks for a good introduction.

Like Ken mentioned, I'm the International Region 2 Director representing AOC Pacific Region.

But this is just the name, you know, that this is Asia region.

But we need to change Asia Pacific Region because you see that the AOC Asia is being held in Australia only.

But they were wondering why they called it AOC Asia while the AOC Asia is taking place in Australia.

So that's my, you know, another, you know, homework, you know, later.

But now we are having, you know, the AOC Asia in 2026 in Australia in connection with AdStar 2026.

Actually, it is a capsule program within Edistar, but that is separate AOC branding, AOC speakers, and AOC-focused electronic warfare program.

This is second event, AOC-level conference, such as AOC Asia is held.

The first one was held in Seoul last year, like you mentioned, but I cannot be satisfied with this.

I want to keep this prestigious event continuing in the years to come.

Yeah.

It's very important that AOC Asia continues to grow and scale.

This is the second year that we've had on a regular basis.

We used to have it on a regular basis previously.

I've talked a lot about it in AOC business about how we need to make sure that AOC Asia continues wherever it is, is on par with some of our other shows that we do because the global situation in the region is so critical to everyone's global security.

And so how we approach that region is extremely important.

And AOC Asia gives us the forum in order to do that.
