Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW)

Abstract

The Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) is a capability set that will provide BCT Commanders with an organic airborne offensive Electronic Warfare (EW) capability, which empowers Commanders to shape the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) to their advantage. The MFEW Air Large system, when installed onto the Gray Eagle (GE) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), will provide: 1) Offensive Electronic Attack (OEA) - Non-Kinetic Fires capability with the intent of denying, degrading, or disrupting enemy communications capability and non-communications emitters; 2) Electronic Warfare Support (ES) - Capability to search, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional and unintentional radiated electromagnetic (EM) energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and execution of future operations; 3) Dissemination of Military Information Support Operations (MISO) products; and 4) Support of Offensive Cyber Operations (OCO) and Multi-Domain Operations. Justification: FY 2021 Base funding in the amount of $45.791 million will support MFEW Air Large Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD), contractor testing, Gray Eagle integration and air worthiness certification and Government Developmental Testing (DT).
