Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Electronic Warfare
Abstract
Funding in this program supports Cyber and Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) and Deep CEMA efforts to conduct realistic assessments of Army Integrated Fires performance, identify system vulnerabilities, and develop mitigations against threats across the Cyber and Electromagnetic spectrum. Army radars and sensors, integrated air and missile defense mission command and fire control, Radio Frequency (RF) data and voice networks, and Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) technology will be assessed against current and postulated threat systems and techniques. Potential solutions developed by the Army, other Services, and Defense agencies (for example Missile Defense Agency) to close identified gaps will be demonstrated and assessed in live and simulated CEMA environments. Assessment events will be conducted approximately every two years. Implementation of potential solutions will occur between events using system-specific funding. The proposed solutions will then be assessed at the next event after implementation. Included in this line are funds to plan and execute periodic CEMA and Deep CEMA activities, in conjunction with Air and Missile Defense and Long-Range Cross Functional Teams to support the Army Integrated Fires system, to include other Service and other Agency radar and sensor systems as appropriate. Funding will be used to develop solutions to protect Army weapon systems from emerging and future CEMA threats such as advanced Electronic Warfare techniques, Radio Frequency-enabled cyber effects, use of photonics, etc. Efforts in this program will also develop tools for use by Army radar and sensor systems to improve overall system performance in contested environments, to include effects-based CEMA Modeling and Simulation (M&S) to assess Army CEMA concepts in Hardware-In-The-Loop (HWIL) environment. Additionally, virtual models of critical hardware and software are being developed and implemented to allow for destructive testing with advanced CEMA threats in a lab environment. There will be continual interface with intelligence communities to maintain cognizance of emerging CEMA threats and incorporate these threats in future CEMA demonstrations. These activities follow a time-phased roadmap that identifies the investments needed to improve the resiliency of Army radar and sensors, C2, and RF data and voice networks in contested CEMA environments. Deep CEMA efforts support assessment of quantum-based hardware, development of software algorithms, and will integrate cutting-edge technology prototypes into Army weapon systems for advanced experimentation and assessment. There is no funding requested in this project in FY25.
