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. TLS BCT enables integration, interoperability and force modernization with emerging capabilities in support of Multi-Domain Task Forces and Operational Needs Statements. TLS BCT will equip mounted formations with vehicles organic to their formations (SBCT- Stryker MEV DVAH1, ABCT- AMPV) and a manpack solution for IBCTs. TLS BCT - MDO Relevancy: Priority #2 Enablers - Supported/endorsed by Network Cross Functional Team (CFT), Assured Position Navigation and Timing (APNT)/Space CFT, Long Range Precision Fire (LRPF) CFT. The total cost of the TLS Brigade Combat Team (BCT) Middle Tier of Acquisition effort is $269.5 million RDT&E from FY20 to FY25. Justification: FY 2025 total program amount of $14.763 million will fund technical support, vehicle integration and system development, new signal threat integration/signal relevancy, and test events.
