Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates technologies to address the seamless integrated communications challenge with distributed, secure, mobile, wireless, and self-organizing communications networks that will operate reliably in diverse and complex terrains, in all environments. Efforts demonstrate seamlessly integrated communications and information security technologies across all network tiers, ranging from unattended networks and sensors through maneuver elements and airborne and space assets. Project TR1 investigates and leverages external communication technologies and combines technology options in a series of Command, Control, Communications, and Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) On-The-Move (OTM) demonstrations to measure the potential battlefield effectiveness. Project TR2 provides information security technologies for tactical wireless networks against modern network attacks; and supports collaborative technologies for information sharing between battlefield functional communities. Project TR8 funds congressional special interest items. Work in this PE is complimentary of PE 0602782A (Command, Control, Communications Technology), and fully coordinated with PE 0602783 (Computer and Software Technology), PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology), PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), and PE 0602270A (EW Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Fort Monmouth, NJ and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
