Threat Electronic Warfare
Abstract
Develops Army Threat Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities that will simulate a realistic anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environment that will portray critical threats to U.S. DoD satellite communication (SATCOM), navigation, and command, control, and communication (C3I) networks. Develops specific EW capabilities to include cyber/EW convergence, tailored jamming in a complex radio frequency (RF) environment (air and ground), data spoofing, detection of Low Probability Intercept (LPI) waveforms, artificial intelligence (AI), network modeling, passive detection systems, and advanced electronic support systems such as Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) against Low Probability of Detect (LPD) and Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) signals. Develops and prototypes Threat Electronic Support (ES) systems by leveraging state-of-the-art commercially available Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology incorporating Angle of Arrival (AoA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA), and/or Frequency Difference of arrival (FDoA) and integrates emerging processing techniques to include Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Provides a relevant and realistic threat battlespace environment inclusive of advanced ground and aerial sensor systems, low power ground surveillance systems, and other threat sensor systems employing non-RF applications (acoustic, seismic, and electro-optical/infrared). Integrates advanced sensor capabilities with existing threat Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) and threat command and control systems. Develops and prototypes Threat Electronic Attack (EA) systems by leveraging state-of-the-art commercially available SDR technology to develop jammers that function against numerous SUT operating on the full Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum. Provides jamming capabilities up to 40 GHz in order to target satellite uplinks, exploitable systems for Cyber & Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA), and a threat environment required for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO). Develops and prototypes a threat tactical communication replication effort that will leverage state-of-the-art commercially available SDR technology to present realistic signatures and Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) for the System Under Test (SUT). This system will cover threat tactical communication ranging from High Frequency (HF) to Super High Frequency (SHF). The Common Tactical Signal Emitter Program (CTSEP) will leverage intelligence community models to provide realistic, threat representative, signatures. Develops an affordable, common set of radar threat emitters based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Software Defined Radios (SDR) technology to create a realistic RF signal dense threat environment for Multi-Domain Operations. Provides an affordable, common set of RF emitters needed to establish Tactical Communications and Gray-Space environments based on COTS SDR technology. Provides validated radar and communications digital models for use in a Live, Constructive, and Virtual environment as determined by Army Test & Evaluation Command (ATEC) to support Developmental Tests (DT) and Operational Tests (OT) for numerous Systems Under Test (SUT).
