Electronic Warfare Development
Abstract
FY 2017 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 Brigade Combat Team (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) Project DX5 is Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tools (EWPMT), 2) Project DX6 is Multi-Function EW (MFEW), and 3) Project VS6 Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) which provides current defensive electronic attack capability. Project ET7 is Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation (RIM) to resolve radio frequency interference and electromagnetic fratricide and enable electronic warfare and communications compatibility. 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 - Multi-Function EW Airborne (MFEW-Air) is a 3 variant system of systems EW payload that will provide Offensive Electronic Attack (OEA) and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) from Tactical to Operational levels. MFEW will provide commanders from BCT to CORPS with an organic EW capability that dramatically improves a land force's ability to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in order to execute successful unified land operations. These capabilities give the commander a competitive advantage by denying, degrading or modifying the enemy's ability to conduct command and control, ISR, and targeting, and allows the commander to optimize effects within the EMS at the time and place of their choosing. Project ET7 – RIM will provide a cross cutting capability to centrally manage and provide oversight to identify, define, test, and coordinate development of Radio Frequency (RF) interference mitigation material solutions to resolve mutual RF interference and electromagnetic fratricide for SDS. Project VS6 - Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) provides for protection for ground forces operating in vehicle convoys, single vehicle operations and fixed locations in all theatres of operations. It is programmable to migrate with the evolving threat and provides non-lethal capabilities which enable freedom of movement across depth/breadth of the operational environment.
