ABOUT

The AOC, established in 1964, boasts a global membership across 47 countries with 65 chapter in 19 nations. Comprising executives, scientists, engineers, managers, operators, educators, and military personnel, the organisation is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC. 

Originating from WWII’s Battle of Britain, the term “Old Crows” refers to Electronic Warfare practitioners. Evolving from the Allied Radar Countermeasure operators’ code name “Ravens,” Electronic Warfare, Information Operations, and related disciplines have been indispensable in modern military operations, leveraging digital technology for knowledge superiority, strategic dominance, and asset protection.
