Electronic Warfare (EW)
Abstract
This is a twelve month project that developed and demonstrated prototypes to address emerging Service challenges resulting from the increasingly congested and contested electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) battlespace. The EW project prototyped seven coordinated capabilities to expand the Army toolset, extend EW capabilities to lower echelons of troops, and address priority operational needs. These capabilities include enhanced mobility for terrestrial signals intelligence (SIGINT), aerial and ground tactical EW systems, radio frequency interference mitigation, EW common visualization and planning tools, improved direction finding, and distributed dismounted EW systems. Each of these technologies were tested in individual and integrated technical assessments with warfighter participation. The prototypes leveraged partners from Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, and industry. Using FY 2017 funding, the capabilities individually transitioned to several programs of record in FY 2018 including Prophet; Terrestrial Layer Support (TLS) to Multi-Domain Battle/Joint Combined Arms Maneuver; Multi-Function Electronic Warfare Air-Large; and, EW Planning and Management Tool.
