Silent Hammer
Abstract
Starting in FY 2020, the Silent Hammer (SH) demonstration venue will transfer to the Emerging Capabilities Technology Development (ECTD) Program Element in support of the Secretary of Defense's priority to increase the rate of innovation and deliver performance at the speed of relevance. Leveraging the Joint Electronic Advanced Technology (PE 0603618D8Z) program's history of conducting highly successful experimentation venues, SH is a multi-year, multi-agency, series of field experimentation activities. SH explores and demonstrates new electronic warfare (EW) technologies and approaches through the use of large-scale, dynamic field experiments. SH focuses on advancing the state-of-the-art for detecting, classifying, and geo-locating electromagnetic signals of interest through novel technologies such as multi-platform, multi-aperture, multi-domain (M3) passive/active sensing in complex and congested electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) environments. SH includes both scripted and dynamic scenarios to experiment with the efficacy of both existing and new capabilities and approaches to engage emerging EMS threats. The EW Community of Interest, Executive Committees, and warfighters are involved in the selection of follow-on experimentation topics, technology demonstrations, and scoping of these efforts to ensure their maximum relevance and value.
