The novel strategy ensures "our readiness to render timely as well as relevant SIGINT-support [and meet] the commander’s data needs inwards a large scale fighting functioning against a sophisticated adversary,” Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, said July xviii during an effect on Capitol Hill hosted yesteryear the Association of Old Crows. Officials say the integration of SIGINT, electronic warfare as well as cyber is critical from a material, scheme as well as doctrinal perspective. “Not solely volition our 4 lines of endeavour improve our SIGINT corps' capabilities as well as relevance inwards the confront of rapid changes inwards the global safety environment, it volition also enable our electronic warfare as well as cyberspace endeavour to run across novel challenges,” Berrier said.
The 4 initiatives inwards the novel strategy include:
- Organizing as well as edifice the Army SIGINT force,
- Educating the force,
- Equipping the force, and
- Developing doctrine.
The novel strategy increases the Army’s mightiness to collect tidings against peer adversaries, such every bit China as well as Russia, as well as provides a theater foundation for successful electronic warfare as well as cyber operations, Berrier said.
A cardinal cistron of the convergence includes the novel Terrestrial Layer System (TLS), a SIGINT/EW scheme projected to hold upward fielded on vehicles as well as used yesteryear novel military intelligence-electronic warfare (MI-EW) companies the Army is working to stand upward up.
The Army wants SIGINT, electronic warfare as well as cyber systems on the same platforms inwards the air as well as dry soil domain, Maj. Gen. Robert Walters, commander of the Intelligence Center of Excellence, said at the event. These systems, Berrier said, should hold upward able to non solely feel the environs but employ roughly type of activity such every bit electronic assail or cyber capability.
Why converge?

And thence produce nosotros actually require 3 assort tools to innovation operations inwards the spectrum? My declaration would hold upward no.”
From an organizational perspective, the 29 serial electronic warfare personnel volition convey deep noesis inwards both cyber as well as electromagnetic spectrum operations. On the materiel side, specially alongside programs similar the Terrestrial Layer System, the cyber as well as intel community are coming together regularly to integrate their requirements, officials said. In addition, Maj. Gen. John Morrison, commander of the Cyber Center of Excellence, told reporters inwards June that the Intelligence Center of Excellence is working alongside the Cyber Center to aid ensure integrated formation as well as integrated capabilities.
