Electronic Warfare Technology Maturation (MIP)

Abstract

Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) is a new start effort in FY 2020 to provide Army maneuver forces integrated Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and offensive Cyber-enabling integrated solution to support Multi Domain operation capability gaps and provide Force Protection, Situational Development, and Information Superiority to the maneuver forces. TLS is a dedicated, all weather, 24/7, ground-based tactical system providing Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare Support (ES), Electronic Attack (EA) and Cyber enabling capabilities to support the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) and Expeditionary-Military Intelligence Brigade (E-MIB) commanders. TLS provides Indications and Warnings, Force Protection and Situational Awareness to influence the commander's decision cycle, improve targeting timeliness and accuracy, and provide the maneuver commander with electronic attack and offensive cyber warfare options to deny, degrade, disrupt, or otherwise manipulate the targeted force. TLS employs technologically advanced systems with a modular open-system approach for dismounted, vehicle mounted, and extended range operations that can be efficiently sustained and effectively upgraded to provide capabilities against changing near peer and emerging threats.
