Electromagnetic Spectrum Dominance Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area matures advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) and Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) sensing concepts and joint mission capabilities through operationally relevant prototyping activities. Radio frequency (RF) spectrum congestion and emergent peer EW threats erode U.S. capabilities in ways that are difficult to predict and counteract. This focus area helps develop multi-function, frequency agile EMS dominance prototypes by leveraging advances in distributed and multi-purpose apertures, microelectronics, machine learning, and autonomous systems . The end result is an application agnostic architecture that enables a variety of EW applications across Joint Service platforms, which increased survivability and lethality against peer threats. Prototype assessments will occur in realistic venues such as the Silent Hammer Experimentation program to inform new warfighting concepts and requirements for future acquisition programs. Development of advanced prototypes will involve partnerships with industry and academia.
