Information Warfare System

Abstract

Information Operations (IO) Counter Measure Capability Research and Development: Develops software to account for antenna modeling, weather calculations, radio frequency modeling, signals mapping and terrain modeling for warfighter use in configuring optimal Electronic Attack (EA) from afloat. Maritime Cryptologic Systems for the 21st Century Systems Development and Support: Develops and fields spiral Electronic Support, and Cyber capabilities against U.S. Navy's prioritized signals, networks, and target sets. EA capabilities will be integrated into a software architecture baseline that is deployed on subsurface, airborne and surface Information Operations (IO) platforms (Classic Troll, Banshee and Ships Signal Exploitation Equipment Increment E and Increment F) sponsored Pacific Sail (PACSAIL) research project. Signal Descriptor File (SDF) Configuration Management Authority (SCMA) is the technical lead for the development, testing and validation of electronic support and electronic attack techniques for Maritime Cryptologic Systems in support of Navy-wide Information Operations planning. Research, Analysis and Research and Development Technical Support: Conducts vulnerability analysis and reverse engineering on emerging threats and targets and provides specialized technical, engineering and management capabilities to the program management office. Computer Network Operations (CNO): Funds development and testing of computer networks for modeling, simulation, and tailoring of Cyber capabilities. Develops specific Cyber tools, techniques, and operators in support of Navy requirements (details held at a higher classification level). Conducts vulnerability analyses and reverse engineering on improvised explosive devices (details held at a higher classification level). Increase between FY18 and FY19 is due to antenna refurbishment in Maryland and at an OCONUS site. Site is classified. Additionally, increase will do the following: 1) support ship integration, modeling to support operational implementation, technical review in support of transition to SPAWAR, and operational evaluation of a "speed to fleet" Computer Network Operation and Electronic Warfare projects. 2) Management and engineering services for mission essential systems engineering and security tasks in support of operational shipboard testing. 3) Regain traction to further develop Electronic Warfare to meet emergent technical threats; enhance cyber research and development; and development/deployment Radio Frequency (RF). 4) Enhance validation of Signal Descriptor (SDF) file collection and results in complete ship self-defense warning indications and signal collections for the war-fighter.
