EW Quick Reaction Capabilities
Abstract
This project establishes a capability to rapidly assess, develop and demonstrate new electronic warfare concepts, techniques, and capabilities as well as the required position navigation and timing (PNT) technologies and capabilities in the context of systemic electronic warfare (EW) effects (electronic warfare threat interactions) in a congested/contested electromagnetic spectrum, system-of-systems (SoS) environment of the future. It develops disruptive electronic warfare and countermeasures concepts specifically selected for high-impact, game-changing effects; evaluates them in high fidelity virtual and hardware evaluation settings; and demonstrates them in an operationally relevant environment. It establishes and maintains an all-source, physics-based, threat-to-countermeasures electronic warfare systems engineering methodology. It develops a core analytic function, supported by simulation-based wargaming and interactive engineering modeling capabilities to evaluate advanced countermeasures concepts. In FY 2021, the entirety of Project 633720, EW Quick Reaction Capabilities, will be transferred to PE 0603035F, Next Gen Effects Dev/Demos, Project 633720, EW Quick Reaction Capabilities, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE consolidation in order to realign technology areas to better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and Air Force Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Technology Directorate located in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
