Abstract

Prophet Enhanced is the current system under the Prophet Ground acquisition program. Funds provide for development and integration of Technical Insertion 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 organic ground-based SIGINT/Electronic Warfare system for the Multi-Function Teams (MfTs) organic to the Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) and Expeditionary-Military Intelligence Brigades (E-MIBs). 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. It also incorporates product modification, integration, evaluation and demonstration events of equipment for rapid integration of Technical Insertions (TI) and product development to ensure operational relevance. Justification: FY 2021 Base funding in the amount of $8.697 million will support continuing non-recurring engineering development and evaluation including, but not limited to; enhancements to Prophet Enhanced Signals of Interest (SOI) baseline to support the National Defense Strategy that is Near Peer focused, integration of Intelligence Community (IC) SOI libraries, development of digital receiver upgrades, development of training systems and environments, development of the Technical Data Package (TDP), improvements to Enhanced Signal Processing (ESP) capabilities and Communications kits, and Customer Testing. FY 2021 OCO funding in the amount of $3.900 million will support the development, integration and testing/accreditation of new, Theater Specific, signal capabilities 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.
