An electronic warfare conference with an emphasis on regional affairs and issues relating to the support of peace operations in Africa will be held on 17 and 18 August 2004 at the CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa.
 

The conference is organised by the South-African chapter of the Association of Old Crows (AOC) and sponsored by CSIR Defencetek, Avitronics and SAAB. The AOC is a professional organisation that promotes electronic defence or information superiority to maintain security. Membership of the AOC includes scientists, engineers, managers, operators, educators, and military personnel in all grades.
