Platoon Early Warning System concept and Evaluation Report (PEWS CER).

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide recommendations concerning the Platoon Early Warning System (PEWS) to the Development Acceptance In Process Review meeting 1 June 1977. The objectives were to: (a) Describe operational and organizational concepts to include the need for the system, employment considerations and general instances of employment in the offense, defense, and in a stabilized situation. (b) Develop a mission profile for the PEWS, addressing targets for the system, possible missions, terrain and environment in which the system might be employed, distance at which a PEWS mission would most likely be conducted, and the mode in which the system would be utilized. (c) Review and analyze OT-II and compare possible configurations of the existing system. (d) Review the cost comparisons of alternative systems to provide input to the performance analysis and recommendations.
