Electronic Warfare Development
Abstract
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 four program lines of effort: 1) Project DX5 Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tools (EWPMT), 2) Project DX6 Multi-Function EW (MFEW), 3) Project VS6 Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) Electronic Warfare (CREW) which provides current defensive electronic attack capability, and 4) Project ET7 Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation (RIM) which resolves radio frequency interference and electromagnetic fratricide and enables 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 - The Multi-Function EW (MFEW) is a System of Systems that will provide the BCT Commander with an organic airborne and ground offensive Electronic Attack (EA) and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) capability. MFEW-Air and MFEW-Ground variants empower Commanders to shape the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) to their advantage. 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 EMS in order to execute successful unified land operations. These capabilities give the commander a competitive advantage by denying, degrading the enemy's ability to conduct Command and Control (C2), Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), and targeting; and allows the commander to optimize effects within the EMS at the time and place of their choosing. These systems are networked with the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) to allow remote operation and dynamic tasking/reprogramming. Project ET7 – Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation (RIM) is 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 Spectrum Dependent Systems (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. FY 2018 budget request funds Electronic Warfare Development.

- Change Summary Explanation
- FY 2016 Funding reflects an Above Threshold Reprogramming (16-19 PA) increase in the amount of 2.441 million and (.698) million transfer in support of SBIR/STTR. FY 2018 Funding reflects the following adjustments by project: - Project DX5 increase of funding in the amount of 10.712 million supports Capability Drop 3 (CD3) development, which includes Cyber Situational Awareness, test and support activities and Program Management Office. - Project DX6 decrease in the amount of (.235) million is a result of realignment of program requirements. - Project ET7 increase of .145 million supports ongoing Interference Cancellation (IC) Light technology and IC algorithm technology development efforts. - Project VS6 decrease in the amount of (.031) million is a result of realignment of program requirements.
