The Army’s rapid procurers are turning their focus to aerial electronic warfare solutions inwards reply to ongoing needs inwards the European theater. The Army’s Rapid Capabilities Office has been working to deliver EW capabilities to Europe inwards phases that construct upon each other, providing deployed forces alongside needed capabilities against a existent threat instantly spell besides informing longer-term programs of potential requirements. A novel endeavour “includes an aerial capability that extends the gain of signal detection as well as volition live on used to inform the programme of record, [Multifunction Electronic Warfare] Air Large,” Pete Manternach, EW Pb for the RCO, said inwards written responses to C4ISRNET. “We are starting to larn at the aerial EW capabilities, that is in all probability 1 of the biggest focuses nosotros have,” Manternach told C4SIRNET sis site Defense News inwards an interview during the annual Association of the U.S. of A. of America Army conference inwards early on October, adding they are working alongside the entire community of involvement to architect them into the electrical flow systems as well as prototypes.
To date, the RCO, working alongside the programme office, has been developing epitome solutions for Phase two capabilities that construct on master EW capabilities delivered to Europe before this year, the RCO said inwards written responses. The master capabilities included ground-based systems that tin feel the signals inwards the environs as well as besides furnish a express electronic assault capability.
The U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities Office is delivering quick-reaction electronic warfare solutions to the European theater, as well as these systems volition aid inform the evolution of to a greater extent than permanent programs of record.
The RCO as well as programme business office conception on fielding the Phase two capabilities to Europe — including ground-based systems that volition convey improved sensors, upgraded software as well as novel antennas — kickoff inwards the 2nd quarter of financial yr 2019, the RCO said.
The Army's Cyber Blitz experimentation sought to amend sympathize tactical cyber as well as electronic warfare effects.
While the aerial systems described past times Manternach volition live on component division of the Phase two efforts, he said they won’t live on fielded to Europe alongside the Phase two capabilities.
The aerial prototypes volition besides live on able to piece of occupation on both manned as well as unmanned aircraft.
Manternach said spell these capabilities are aimed at the ongoing needs inwards Europe, they volition live on extended to other theaters if needed.
In to a greater extent than or less other effort, Manternach pointed to a asking for data posted to the FedBizOpps website inwards August 2018 for a tactical signals word payload to live on mounted on an unmanned MQ-1C Gray Eagle, which would include EW capabilities inwards back upwards of an ongoing programme inside Program Executive Office Intelligence Electronic Warfare as well as Sensors' Sensors-Aerial Intelligence office.
Responses to the asking are currently beingness reviewed alongside a asking for proposals expected to live on released inwards the Dec 2018 to Jan 2019 fourth dimension frame.
