MAGTF EW Aviation Development
Abstract
This project unit supports the United States Marine Corps (USMC) development of Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Electronic Warfare (EW) and the various elements of its distributed System of Systems (SoS) that support the Commandant of the Marine Corps' Strategy and Vision 2025 and Joint Vision 2025. The SoS will address MAGTF EW sufficiency gaps in the areas of Electronic Attack (EA), EW Support (ES), and Electronic Protection with a multitude of payloads designed for carriage on a variety of organic MAGTF air and ground assets. Payload development plans follow an adaptable, modular and open architecture philosophy to combat the increasing capability gap and enable future growth at a reduced operational and sustainment cost. A key element to this capability is the AN/ALQ-231 Intrepid Tiger II program. The AN/ALQ-231(V)1 pod is the Fixed-Wing variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on the AV-8B and F/A-18A-D platforms, with plans for future integration on MV-22, C-130, and CH-53K platforms. The AN/ALQ-231(V)2 will be the variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms once integration is complete. The AN/ALQ-231(V)3 is the Rotary-Wing variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on the UH-1Y platform, with plans for future integration on AH-1 platforms. Beginning in FY18, MAGTF EW will also commence efforts to develop an EW Payload for USMC Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platforms capable of conducting, supporting, and coordinating Electro-Magnetic Spectrum (EMS) operations in the form of EA and ES against Irregular Warfare threats. Additionally, this payload will be scalable and adaptable for emerging threats and will be interoperable with the USMC's Electronic Warfare Services Architecture (EWSA). This new capability will be integrated for MAGTF tactical coordination of cyberspace and EW operations via the Cyber Electronic Warfare Coordination Cell (CEWCC). Host platforms include, but are not limited to, the RQ-21A. The FY 2019 funding request was reduced by $2.668 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
