Electronic Warfare Development
Abstract
This Program Element encompasses engineering and manufacturing development for tactical Electronic Warfare (EW) terrestrial (ground) employment applications. The systems under this program provide the Army with the capability to detect, identify, locate, collect/process, report, and engage (disrupt, degrade or deny) hostile forces to prevent their effective use of communications & non-communications networks, counter-mortar/counter-battery radars, surveillance radars, electronically fused munitions and other enemy threats using the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum (EMS). Project CK3 supports the development of the Program of Record, Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) Echelons Above Brigade (EAB). TLS-EAB will provide Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Cyber-enabling integrated solution to support Multi Domain Battle capability gaps and provide Force Protection, Situational Development, and Information Superiority to Army Divisions, Corps and Multi-Domain Task Forces. Project EW5 provides for Prophet Enhanced, the current system under the Prophet Ground acquisition program. Its primary mission is to provide 24-hour Situation Development and Information Superiority to the supported maneuver brigade enabling the most effective engagement of enemy forces. Prophet Enhanced provides a modular, scalable, open architecture based system solution optimized for ease of use in a variety of configurations. Project EW6 provides for the Army Reprogramming Analysis Team (ARAT), a Department of the Army established project to develop techniques, methods, tools and architecture to reprogram mission software embedded in Army EW systems, Force Protection Systems (FPS), and Target Sensing Systems (TSS) in response to changes in threat signatures. ARAT Research and Development enables continuous development of: 1) automated threat analysis tools to rapidly detect (flag) threat changes within intelligence systems, 2) tools to minimize the time to develop EW Mission Software and Products (MSP) for both air and ground EW systems, 3) tools and technology to minimize the time required to test and validate MSPs, 4) improved communications conduits to transmit mission software changes to field users, and 5) enhanced mission-software uploading tools. These efforts allow for rapid threat analysis, simulation, mission software development, distribution and uploading of mission software changes directly to the supported Soldier in the field. The ARAT project will develop, test and equip an Army-wide infrastructure capable of rapidly reprogramming electronic combat software embedded in offensive and defensive weapon systems. Project FJ5 supports the development of the Program of Record, Terrestrial Layer System (TLS), an effort that initiated in FY 2020 (funded with PE 0604021A / AW7). TLS will provide Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Cyber-enabling integrated solution to support Multi Domain Battle capability gaps and provide Force Protection, Situational Development, and Information Superiority to the maneuver forces. FY 2022 funds the Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) Echelons Above Brigade (EAB) efforts (Project CK3), Army Reprogramming Analysis Team (ARAT) efforts (Project EW6) and Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) efforts (Project FJ5).
