The Multifunction Electronic Warfare (MFEW) Advanced Development Model

Abstract

In the almost 30 years since the development of the AN/SLQ-32 Surface Ship Electronic Warfare (EW) system, the number and sophistication of radar emitters and antiship missiles have increased dramatically. The resulting need for improved situational awareness, combat system coordination, threat detection and identification, and support for future improvements in electronic countermeasures against new and emerging threats led the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to establish a Technology Transition Agreement (TTA) in 2004 with the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), the program managers for the new construction DDG 1000, and the Surface EW Improvement Program (SEWIP). This TTA established an ONR program under the Fleet Force Protection (FFP) Future Naval Capability (FNC) to develop and demonstrate a Multifunction Electronic Warfare (MFEW) Advanced Development Model (ADM), and mature and transition critical EW system technology to full-scale engineering development.
