Terrestrial Layer System

Abstract

This funding line is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of Terrestrial Layer System Brigade Combat Team (TLS BCT), a Middle Tier of Acquisition program, which provides Army maneuver forces integrated full spectrum Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Cyber-enabling non-kinetic offensive operation options to Brigade Combat Team (BCT) commanders. TLS BCT's information Superiority provides Indications and Warnings, Force Protection and Situational Awareness to influence the commander's decision cycle, improve targeting timeliness and accuracy, and provide the maneuver commander with electronic attack and offensive cyber warfare options to deny, degrade, disrupt, or otherwise manipulate the targeted force. TLS BCT employs technologically advanced systems with a modular open-system approach for multiple configurations that can be efficiently sustained and effectively upgraded to provide capabilities against changing near peer and emerging threats to address multi-domain capability gaps. The total cost of TLS BCT Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $168.43 million from FY21 to FY25 in RDTE, and procurement ($43.04M) of prototype units. TLS BCT is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. Justification: FY23 total program amount of $21.468M will fund technical/PMO support, vehicle integration and system development, new signal threat integration/signal relevancy, and test events.
