Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW)

Abstract

The Multi-Function Electronic Warfare (MFEW) is a capability set that will provide Maneuver 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 other activities to support Multi-Domain Operations. Justification: Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Base funding in the amount of $12.02 million will support completion of MFEW Air Large non-recurring engineering activities to include contractor testing, test range and support, and Government Limited User Test (LUT).
