ELECTRONIC WARFARE DEVELOPMENT - MIP
Abstract
Prophet Enhanced (PE) is the tactical commander's sole organic ground-based Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)/Electronic Warfare system for the Brigade Combat Team (BCT), Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), and Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (BfSB). Its primary mission is to provide 24-hour Situation Development and Information Superiority to the supported maneuver brigade to enable the most effective engagement of enemy forces. A BCT is typically fielded with two PE sensors and one Prophet Control/Prophet Analytic Cell (PC/PAC), which comprise the organic SIGINT collection and analytical functions for the unit. PE provides a modular, scalable, open architecture-based system solution optimized for ease of use in a variety of profiles (Stationary-Fixed, Mobile and Manpack). It also incorporates the ability for rapid integration of Technical Insertions and Pre-Planned Product Improvements to ensure operational relevance. PE is a non-vehicle specific system, allowing maximum flexibility to accommodate a myriad of platforms. It is comprised of modular components that provide a simultaneous mission capability in Stationary-Fixed, Mobile and Manpack configurations. This provides the commander maximum flexibility in employing the PE system and enhances the SIGINT capabilities available. PE provides reach-back capability and interfaces directly with the National SIGINT Enterprise via Wideband Beyond Line of Sight (WB BLOS) Satellite Communications at PC/PAC and the Sensor. PE is an integral part of the Army Modernization providing Near Real Time (NRT) information to the Brigade Commander within their combat decision cycle. This NRT information provides a key component of the fused intelligence Common Operating Environment (COE). PE is being fielded to deploying units in accordance with Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) requirements. FY2013 Base dollars support the following activities: develops product upgrades for Next Generation Signals to increase the capabilities of the PE and maintain operational relevance; initiates integration of Real-time Signal Processing architectural framework (e.g. Red Hawk); and initiates integration and testing of a software defined radio/receiver and antenna solutions (e.g. PENNANTRACE and Roadmaster) into the PE Sensor.
