Electronic Warfare (EW) Technologies Focus Area
Abstract
This focus area develops new concepts and key technologies to improve the ability to detect, locate, and classify electronic threats; deter electronic attacks targeting military operations; defeat electronic attacks using kinetic and non-kinetic methods; and, create electromagnetic interference effects on enemy systems. Prototype technologies will advance capabilities like air and ground electronic support (ES) and electronic attack (EA), tactical EW systems, and EW mission command systems. Specific activities include development and testing of electronic protection systems, distributed and coordinated ES/EA systems, broadband radio frequency components and systems, and EW analysis support systems. These prototype capabilities will reduce technical and integration risk and provide joint, cross-cutting value to the warfighter. A cross functional team, led by the OUSD(R&E), will review and select prototyping proposals from across the Department of Defense in the year of execution.
