Abstract

The Marine Electromagnetic Warfare Ground Family of Systems (MEGFoS): MEGFoS is the future of USMC ground electromagnetic warfare being developed to replace the current capability provided by the Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) family of systems which provides counter IED and counter UAS capabilities. The MEGFoS family of systems (FoS) will provide Marine Corps Forces the ability to maneuver effectively in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in a peer-to-peer environment. MEGFoS will employ artificial intelligence (AI) to identify signals of interest (SOI) and provides a networked EW capability equipped with low probability of intercept (LPI) and low probability of detection (LPD) antennas enabling the ability to sense and make sense of the (EMS) throughout the area of operations. MEGFoS provides electronic warfare operators the ability to conduct electronic fires on site, remotely attack targets identified via systems employed by incidental operators, conduct coordinated techniques across multiple systems, or pass target data to other systems to attack with kinetic fires. MEGFoS provides state of the art electronic attack (EA), electronic support (ES), and electronic protection capabilities throughout the EMS. MEGFoS enables an exquisite ability to deny, disrupt, and degrade adversary communications, navigation, RADAR, and other systems operating in the EMS. The ability for instantaneous sensing, identification, exploitation, and disruption of enemy capabilities using non-traditional attack vectors and techniques to defeat sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic energy ensures a technological edge to the Marine Corps in a peer-to-peer environment. The MEGFoS detects and protects friendly spectrum access; senses and identifies spectrum usage; and disrupts the adversary's decision cycle. The future operations solution is fulfilled by MEGFoS, a critical Force Design program enabling the Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO) construct, facilitating ground-based EW in support of Force Design 2030.
