Command & Control Warfare Sys
Abstract
COUNTER RADIO-CONTROLLED IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE (RCIED) ELECTRONIC WARFARE (USMC CREW) SYSTEMS are vehicle mounted and dismounted modular programmable multi-band radio frequency jammers designed to deny enemy use of selected portions of the radio frequency spectrum in the vicinity of the jammer to counter the RCIED threat. The mounted and dismounted systems provide Marines in vehicle convoys and on foot with the necessary protection from the continued and evolving threat of deadly RCIEDs. Legacy CREW systems are currently deployed to meet threats in the multiple theaters of operation and fielded to selected Marine Expeditionary Units (MEU)/Marine Expeditionary Forces (MEF) in support of worldwide deployment. To continue to support the various worldwide missions, each CREW unit receives customized programming (loadsets) to counter that area's RCIED threats. The testing, programming development, and product improvement research are funded with the CREW's RDTE,N funding and prioritized to meet the growing demand for all deployed Marine units. CREW received an Urgent Statement of Need (USON) 30 January 2018 directing the development of Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) systems. MFEW will combine the capabilities to conduct the existing Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (CREW) mission, with electronic warfare (EW), electronic attack (EA) to Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (CUAS), Networking, Direction Finding, and future forward looking capabilities as they are developed. Legacy Crew Capabilities and the MFEW development will be components of the Marine Electronic Warfare Ground Family of Systems (MEGFoS). Beginning FY21, USMC CREW funding has been realigned into the MEGFoS funding profile. MEGFoS will provide interconnected electronic warfare systems for use at fixed sites, on tactical vehicles, and dismounted that will operate across a range of frequencies in order to provide the Marine Corps the ability to maneuver efficiently inside the electromagnetic spectrum. MEGFoS provides the ability to protect friendly use of spectrum, sense all spectrum usage in an area of responsibility, and to target adversaries inside spectrum with the intent to deny, delay or degrade an adversary's decision making cycle.
