Electronic Warfare Technology

Abstract

This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates electronic warfare (EW) technologies intended to deny, disrupt, locate, or destroy the enemy's command, control, and communications (C3) systems and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets. This PE matures both countermeasures (CM) and counter-countermeasures (CCM) to deny the enemy the use of their systems while protecting US assets from enemy deception and jamming. Project K12 funds congressional special interest items. Project K15 matures and demonstrates technologies to locate and exploit enemy communication systems including computer networks. Project K16 matures and demonstrates multifunctional EW capability to enhance platform survivability (jamming) and the detection, identification and geo-location of emitters of interest to provide near real-time situational awareness to the commander. Work in this PE is complimentary of PE 0602270A (EW Techniques), PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), and PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science), and fully coordinated with PE 0603313A (Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology) and PE 0603003A (Aviation Advanced 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 in this PE 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.
