Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW)
Abstract
Multi-Function EW Airborne (MFEW-Air) is a 3 variant system of systems EW payload that will provide Offensive Electronic Attack (OEA) and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) from Tactical to Operational levels. MFEW will provide commanders from BCT to CORPS with an organic EW capability that dramatically improves a land force's ability to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in order to execute successful unified land operations. These capabilities give the commander a competitive advantage by denying, degrading or modifying the enemy's ability to conduct command and control, ISR, and targeting, and allows the commander to optimize effects within the EMS at the time and place of their choosing. Through a remote operated networked, layered, and integrated approach MFEW Air provides decisive non-lethal OEA capabilities against adversary C2, PNT, ISR, and Radar systems. MFEW Air will also provide the capability to sense the EME enabling the detection, location, and identification of friendly and adversary emitters operating within the Electromagnetic Environment (EME) significantly enhancing the commanders understanding of the EME within their AOR. MFEW Air variants will consist of Air Large (Class IV UAS), Air Small (Class III), and Rotary wing payloads that retain the capability to operate independently but when integrated into a system of systems layered approach that also include the MFEW Ground variants will provide extended target frequency range coverage, increased target geolocation precision, increased target standoff range, and increased persistence on target in all weather conditions day or night. Justification: FY2017 Base dollars in the amount of $1.369 million will fund statutory and regulatory Milestone/Contract documentation preparation and Program Management Support. This project is a new start in FY2017.
