Integrated Electronic Warfare Systems

Abstract

IEWS will provide Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities to the Army and Joint Force Commander with a modular, scalable and interoperable architecture to allow tailored responses to a variety of EW threats/scenarios. The program is structured along three lines of effort: Multi-Function EW (MFEW), Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tools (EWPMT), and Defensive Electronic Attack (DEA). MFEW will provide offensive and defensive electronic warfare and attack and EW support capabilities organic to the Brigade Combat Team to include mounted, dismounted, fixed site, and airborne variants. EWPMT will provide planning capabilities to coordinate, manage, and deconflict unit EW activities; employ EW assets to conduct offensive EW targeting, and synchronize EW spectrum operations within an Effects/Fires Cell as an element of Mission Command. DEA capability is currently provided by Duke. Duke V3 and Duke Technical Insertion (DTI) will provide DEA capability until MFEW is fielded. These three efforts will also inform Joint CREW material solutions for all service requirements. Justification: FY2014 funds in the amount of $20.322 million will support development of EWPMT and MFEW and provide for DTI continued growth and conduct of research, development and testing against emerging Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices (RCIED) threats.
