Electronic Warfare Development

Abstract

FY 2015 budget request funds Electronic Warfare Development. This program element (PE) encompasses engineering and manufacturing development for tactical electronic warfare (EW). The Integrated Electronic Warfare System (IEWS) is a system of systems capability set that integrates electronic attack, protect and support functions to dramatically improve the ability to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). It is based on a modular, scalable and open architecture to allow Army BCT and Joint Force Commander's to tailor capability responses against a variety of EW threats/scenarios. The IEWS capability set is structured along three program lines of effort: 1) Multi-Function EW (MFEW), 2) Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tools (EWPMT), and 3) Defensive Electronic Attack (DEA). Project VS6 - Defensive Electronic Attack (DEA) will provide force protection to vehicles, dismounted troops and fixed site locations against radio controlled improvised explosive device (RCIED) and electronic support measures for situational awareness. Project DX5 - EWPMT will provide the Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO) planning capabilities to coordinate, manage, and deconflict the use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum and synchronize spectrum operations within the Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) cell. EWPMT will integrate data elements from Mission Command, Intelligence, and Fires to achieve a Common Operating Picture (COP) of the Electromagnetic Operational Environment. Project DX6 - MFEW will provide offensive and defensive electronic attack and electronic support capabilities in a system of systems construct to include ground and airborne variants organic to the Brigade Combat Team. The MFEW Air variant is the highest priority, followed by ground, dismounted and fixed site variants.
