Abstract
Prophet Enhanced 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 Prophet Enhanced and maintain operational relevance. The Prophet Enhanced 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. Prophet Enhanced 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: Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Base dollars in the amount of $6.758 million will support non-recurring engineering upgrades to the Prophet Enhanced Manpack subsystem. Specifically, new signal capabilities will be developed, integrated, and tested/accredited to ensure that Prophet keeps pace with the constantly changing signal environment and to ensure that Prophet maintains its operational relevance against key enemy threats. FY17 funding request for PE 0304270A was reduced by $1.173M. Out of this total reduction, EW5 FY17 funding request was reduced by $.965 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. Remaining funding reduction was for EW6 ARAT program.
