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). The SoS addresses 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 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(V) Intrepid Tiger II program. The AN/ALQ-231(V)1 pod is the variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on the AV-8B, F/A-18A-D, and KC-130J platforms. The AN/ALQ-231(V)3 is the variant of the Intrepid Tiger II pod flown on the UH-1Y platform, with plans for future integration on AH-1 platforms. Plans include future integration of AN /ALQ-231(V) Block X advanced capability and counter-radar upgrades on USMC tilt rotor, fixed wing, rotary wing and unmanned aircraft. The AN/ALQ-231(V)4 is the first implementation of Block X upgrades on MV-22B aircraft. All payload variants are capable of conducting, supporting, and coordinating Electro-Magnetic Spectrum (EMS) operations in the form of EA and ES against Irregular Warfare threats. Additionally, all payloads are scalable and adaptable for emerging threats and are interoperable with the USMC's Electronic Warfare Services Architecture (EWSA). The Intrepid Tiger II capability is designed to be integrated for MAGTF tactical coordination of cyberspace and EW operations via the Cyber Electronic Warfare Coordination Cell (CEWCC).
