EW Enterprise Exploration and Innovation
Abstract
Electromagnetic Warfare Enterprise Exploration and Innovation (EW E&I) research efforts identify, explore, and accelerate the maturing and demonstration of new EW-related and EW-Cyber-related technologies. Technologies enabling and facilitating electromagnetic attack (EA), electromagnetic protection (EP), and electromagnetic support (ES) are covered, including technologies enabling “over-the-air” algorithmic warfare utilizing existing and new generations of EW, radio frequency (RF) and optical systems. To address increasingly sophisticated evolving threats, EW E&I efforts also seek to accelerate the development of non-traditional EMS sensing and ultra wideband approaches (greater than a decade of frequency) to enable continuous radiofrequency (RF) surveillance and distributed phase synchronous RF sensing. EW E&I research will explore technologies that will extend Department EMS capabilities to complex and contested environments and will provide sensing stand-off and EA capabilities against emerging threats. Distributed multi-domain sensing concepts will leverage advanced analysis and robust data fusion in order to accurately depict complex and dynamic EMS environments. EW E&I research products are explored and developed in state-of-the-art laboratories and validated side-by-side with numerous competing technologies and systems from the Services, industry, academia, and National laboratories in live/virtual/constructive (LVC) experimentation environments and in complex field experimentation events under real-world conditions. This approach significantly accelerates the identification and development of the most effective EW technologies while concurrently reducing developmental costs. Significant advances in all areas impacting EW have resulted in new generations of threats that are challenging the U.S.’s traditional dominance in EW. EW E&I efforts address these challenges and also develop new technologies to ensure that U.S. warfighters maintain decisive overmatch offensive and defensive EW capabilities. EW E&I efforts specifically focus on areas where Service investments are lagging to accelerate the development and transition of multi-Service, multi-mission EW technologies.
