Electronic Warfare Development - MIP

Abstract

Prophet Enhanced (PE) is the current system under the Prophet Ground acquisition program. Funds provide for development and integration of Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) upgrades for Next Generation Signals and state-of-the-art Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) exploitation techniques to increase the capabilities of the PE and maintain operational relevance. The PE is the tactical commander's sole organic ground-based 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. PE provides a modular, scalable, open architecture-based system solution optimized for ease of use in a variety of configurations (Stationary-Fixed, Mobile and Manpack). It also incorporates product modernization, integration, and test of equipment for rapid integration of Technical Insertions (TI) and product development to ensure operational relevance. Justification: FY2016 Base dollars in the amount of $6.660 million supports the following activities: development of product upgrades for Next Generation Signals and SIGINT exploitation to increase the capabilities of the PE and maintain operational relevance. Enhanced SIGINT Exploitation: H/W and/or S/W upgrades to increase system performance, to include but not limited to: enhanced Manpack capability (integration/test and accreditation of updates), tuner upgrade, processor upgrade, increase in memory, antenna upgrade, operating system upgrade and receiver software upgrade.
