Network & Sys -of-Sys Dev
Abstract
This project concentrates on the overall systems engineering, modeling and simulation, architecture and network requirements development, effectiveness assessment and requirements allocation to component systems of the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA) System of Systems (SoS). It also includes establishment and use of virtual test capabilities for system of systems effectiveness testing/evaluation for AEA, studies and technology risk mitigation demonstrations for AEA SoS components and AEA SoS battle management, and the development and maintenance of the Air Force electronic warfare capability investment strategy. These efforts are crucial in the development of critical electronic attack capabilities in support of Air Force and joint operations to include Global Strike and Persistent Global Attack Concepts of Operations (CONOPS). The joint AEA SoS includes the Navy EA-6B and EA-18G core components; the Air Force Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) and its stand-in jammer variant, MALD-J; the EC-130H Compass Call Baseline 0 (formerly Block 35) configuration; Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar equipped aircraft; potentially an unmanned recoverable stand-in jamming platform; potentially a manned low/mid frequency, high power component capable of location and reactive jamming suppression of enemy integrated air defense system (IADS) radars outside the ranges of the associated Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) and non-IADS targets. Recent events have led to an increased focus on an advanced electronic attack capability for use in Irregular Warfare scenarios against non-IADS targets such as communications networks and remote controlled improvised explosive devices.
