EW Enterprise Exploration and Innovation
Abstract
Project 245, EW Enterprise Exploration and Innovation (EW E&I), identifies, explores, develops and rapidly matures and demonstrates EMS and hybrid electronic warfare (EW)-Cyber warfighting technology solutions at rates that are significantly faster than traditional Department developmental efforts and at much lower costs. Maintaining awareness of all EW and EW-Cyber research and development (R&D) efforts globally enables the selection of internal JEAT development efforts and provides analyses and insights for senior decision-makers to ensure effective direction of all Department EW and EW-Cyber technology programs and processes. Internal JEAT developmental efforts investigate and mature technologies and approaches to counter advanced EMS threats in innovative ways and enable the development of compelling new warfighting technologies. JEAT’s large-scale open-air, dynamic field experimentation venues explore and validate promising potential technology solutions side-by-side with existing and other developmental technologies to provide the greatest possible insights to senior leaders directing the Department’s EW and EW-Cyber capabilities development efforts. Current and future experimentation venues will be selected, designed and directed within EW E&I but funding for the execution of them will be provided by Program Element 0603699D8Z, Emerging Capabilities Technology Development. Understanding. EW E&I “understanding” efforts maintain awareness of all EW and EW-Cyber R&D efforts globally. In addition to guiding internal JEAT development efforts, they also provide analyses and technology deep dives to give key insights to senior decision-makers so they can effectively direct all Department EW and EW-Cyber technology development programs and processes. Identifying and Developing Innovative Solutions. These efforts investigate and mature technologies and approaches to counter advanced EMS threats in innovative ways and develop new overmatch technologies. They develop, mature and demonstrate new EW and EW-Cyber technologies in state-of-the-art laboratory environments and include, e.g., the development and validation of new EW countermeasures and nonkinetic battle management technologies to vastly simplify operational planning and decision-making for EMS operations. Exploring Potential Solutions. The JEAT Program developed and continues to pioneer the use of large-scale open-air, dynamic field experimentation venues as powerful tools for technology discovery and maturation. These overwhelmingly successful venues firmly established this type of experimentation as an invaluable tool for both technology acceleration and cost savings. Current and future experimentation venues will be selected, designed and directed within this effort but funding for the execution of them will be provided by Program Element 0603699D8Z, Emerging Capabilities Technology Development.
