Electronic Warfare Technology Maturation (MIP)

Abstract

This is a new start in FY 2020. Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) is the overarching effort to provide Army maneuver forces integrated Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Cyber Warfare-enabling Capabilities. TLS is a dedicated, all weather, 24/7, ground-based tactical system providing Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare Support (ES), Electronic Attack (EA) and Cyber enabling capabilities to support the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) and Expeditionary-Military Intelligence Brigade (E-MIB) commanders. TLS provides, but is not limited to; Indications and Warnings, Force Protection and Situational Awareness to influence the commander's decision cycle, improves targeting timeliness and accuracy, and provides the maneuver commander with electronic attack and offensive cyber warfare options to deny, degrade, disrupt, or otherwise manipulate the targeted force. TLS employs technologically advanced systems with a modular open-system approach for dismounted, vehicle mounted, and extended range operations that can be efficiently sustained and effectively upgraded over its lifecycle to incorporate emerging technologies in order to pace near peer and emerging threats.
