Signals Warfare Development (MIP)

Abstract

Prophet is the tactical commander's sole organic ground-based Signals Intelligence (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 is an integral part of the Army Modernization providing Near Real Time (NRT) information to the Brigade Commander within his combat decision cycle. This NRT information, when processed, provides a key component of the fused intelligence Common Operating Picture (COP). Prophet Enhanced (PE) provides a modular, scalable, open architecture-based system solution optimized for ease of use and rapid integration of Technical Insertions/Pre-Planned Product Improvements to ensure operational relevance. PE is a non-vehicle specific system, allowing maximum flexibility to accommodate a myriad of platforms. PE also provides a simultaneous mission capability in stationary, mobile, and man-pack configuration/modes further increasing/enhancing the SIGINT capabilities for the unit commander. PE is being fielded to deploying units in accordance with ARFORGEN requirements. Prophet provides reach-back capability and interfaces directly with the National SIGINT Enterprise via Wideband Beyond Line of Sight (WB BLOS) Satellite Communications either at Prophet Control (PC) or the Prophet Sensor. No FY2012 funding under this PE.
