The 2021 Military Communications Conference (MILCOM 2021) solicits technical
papers and proposals for tutorials and panels on current and emerging topics
applicable to all facets of military communications. We encourage professionals
in industry, academia, and government worldwide to contribute and participate.
The general forum will be open to all and accepted papers will be published in
IEEE Xplore. There will also be a Restricted Access Program to support
Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) materials and a Classified Program.


UNCLASSIFIED TECHNICAL PROGRAM

The unclassified technical program provides a venue for papers and
presentations that do not include ITAR-sensitive, CUI, classified, or
proprietary information. EDAS will be used for all unclassified submissions.
The following five tracks and three special sessions have been established to
submit papers. Contributions are welcome on (but not limited to) academic,
operational, conceptual, and any other aspects of current or anticipated
military communications, information management, cyber security, Command and
Control, systems and systems of systems, and other current and related topics.
MILCOM 2021 welcomes submissions from researchers, inventors, and technology
leaders from government, military services, industries, research laboratories,
and universities.
