Abstract

Project Unit 3308 / Technology Development funds efforts that focus on the quick reaction prototyping and fielding of Tactical Electronic Warfare (EW)/countermeasures solutions for increased resilience and survivability by improving the active electronic self-defense of tactical aircraft. This self-protection provides friendly forces the ability to deploy, survive, operate, maneuver, and regenerate in all domains while under attack as well as strike diverse targets inside adversary air and missile defense networks to destroy mobile power-projection platforms. This Project also includes/enables integrated Aircraft Survivability Equipment (iASE) which improves situational awareness for own-ship, wingman, and distributed command and control. Significant investments have been made in the modular hardware and reprogrammable software resident in ASE capability which is fielded today. Technology Development makes specific investments towards: countermeasure/jammer/receiver algorithm development, Advanced EW Suite capability studies/investigation/analysis, threat data file and model updates as modern threats continue to evolve. These updated data files and algorithms can be deployed within hours of release by squadron maintenance personnel to aircraft while still on the ramp or flight deck. This program directly addresses the operational requirement of Strike Tactical Air platforms for optimization of EW/countermeasure solutions across the Department of Navy.
