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 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. Project DX5 - The EWPMT is the Commander's tool to control, manage, and dominate the EMS and Cyber Domains. EWPMT will provide the ability to conduct remote control & management of EW assets to execute offensive and defensive Electronic Attack, EW targeting and enable maneuver by synchronizing EW and Spectrum Management Operations (SMO) across Intelligence, Operations, and Signals to successfully execute Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). As a Commander's tool, EWPMT is predominantly utilized by the Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) element's Electronic Warfare Officers (EWO) and ESM for mission planning, access to national and strategic sensors and data repositories, as well as the synchronization of EW and SIGINT enabled platforms. Project DX6 - The MFEW is a capability set that will provide BCT Commanders with an organic airborne offensive EW capability. MFEW variants empower Commanders to shape the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) to their advantage. The MFEW Air Large system, when installed onto the Gray Eagle (GE) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), will provide: 1) Offensive Electronic Attack (OEA) - Non-Kinetic Fires capability with the intent of denying, degrading, or disrupting enemy communications capability and non-communications emitters; 2) Electronic Warfare Support (ES) - Capability to search, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic (EM) energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and execution of future operations; 3) Dissemination of Military Information Support Operations (MISO) products; and 4) Support of Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO) and Multi-Domain Operations. Project VS6 - Counter RCIED CREW, provides protection of ground forces operating in vehicle convoys, single vehicles, and fixed locations in operational theaters, which enables freedom of movement across the depth and breadth of the operational environment. It is programmable with techniques to mitigate emerging threats. In order to keep pace with the threat evolution, development efforts will provide fielded CREW systems as well as other EW systems with techniques that mitigate the range of threats as required. These development efforts may include development of new techniques, integration of existing techniques, and hardware and software development and integration in order to pace the threat.
