ELECTRONIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC SYSTEMS
Abstract
The overarching objective of this activity is to develop, test, and demonstrate communications, electronic attack (EA), electronic surveillance (ES), electronic warfare (EW), and radar functions. This activity also includes development of affordable wideband, high performance Advanced Multifunction Radio Frequency (AMRF) apertures. A portion of this PE is devoted to mid-term technology development in close concert with acquisition programs of record. The products of these efforts are expected to transition at the end of their schedule into the associated acquisition program of record. a) Advanced EW Enabling Technologies (Formerly Titled: Electronic Warfare (EW) Roadmap) - Develop classified advanced electronic warfare technology in support of current and predicted capability requirements. b) Integrated Topside (InTop): Develop wide-band array and electronic systems to support EW capability and other functions, including but not limited to IO and LOS Comms, for surface combatants with potential application to other platforms. c) Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare Command & Control (EMC2) (FY16-FY20)- Enable a battle group to work cooperatively in the EM Spectrum (EMS) to optimize Electronic Warfare (EW), Information Operations (IO), Communications (Comms) and Radar performance. EMC2 will build upon the Resource Allocation Manager (RAM) that was previously developed for single multifunction systems under the InTop program to optimize spectrum and functional use across a platform and an entire battle group. The decrease from FY 2014 to FY 2015 is due to funds provided only in FY 2014 to accelerate the development of Integrated Topside (InTop) efforts. Increase from FY 2015 to FY 2016 is due to: - Added new INP Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare Command & Control (EMC2) The following are non-inclusive examples of accomplishments and plans for projects funded in this activity.
