Independent Evaluation Plan for the Joint Operational Test and Evaluation of Electronic Warfare during Close Air Support (EW/CAS) Joint Test, Phase II
Abstract
The Electronic Warfare During Close Air Support (EW/CAS) Joint Test was a two-phased multiyear joint service test designed to determine the effects of hostile air defense and electronic warfare environments on Army attack helicopter operations in concert with close air support operations. The objectives of Phase II were to evaluate the relative effectiveness of various mixes of Blue EW equipment on Red air defense and evaluate the effects of denying critical elements of the Red air defense capabilities in close air support and attack helicopter operations. This report provides an Army-oriented plan for appraising the EW/CAS Phase II test. The evaluation plan identifies specific questions of Army interest and provides a framework for the evaluation test data. The issues identified for evaluation include communications jamming, training, JAAT tactics, and the synergistic effects of Air Force EW equipment with an overall objective of assessing the Army's preparedness and ability to conduct attack helicopter operations in a desert mountain terrain against threat forces equipped with EW and air defense assets.
