Multi-Mission Electronic Countermeasures (MM-ECM)

Abstract

The Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device program name has been updated to MM-ECM to better reflect current operational use cases for ECM equipment across Theater and National Force missions. This is the result of expanded capabilities through system modernization efforts. The USSOCOM uses ground (mounted/dismounted) based jammers to provide ECM capabilities to counter Radio Frequency (RF) controlled devices and cellular threats. This program provides scalable ECM systems whose configuration and modularity address multiple mission critical capabilities to counter this threat globally. To stay ahead of emerging threats, USSOCOM has historically developed advanced techniques on an annual basis. Through strategic partnerships with the Services, and other government agencies, USSOCOM vastly improved program affordability while maintaining Joint Force compatibility. The USSOCOM’s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) special mission remains the top hardware and special application module upgrades, USSOCOM is able to use its ECM for its top priority mission and continue to apply advanced techniques against emerging threats across the spectrum of warfare including great power competition. All Next Generation ECM is designed to support multiple SOF missions in competition including force protection, CWMD, and counter-Unmanned Systems (CUxS), while maintaining cost effective Counter Violent Extremist Organization (CVEO) capabilities.
