Electronic Warfare Development

The Electronic Warfare Development program is designed to enhance the Army's electronic warfare capabilities through engineering and manufacturing development for tactical terrestrial applications. This initiative equips the Army with advanced systems to detect, identify, and counteract hostile forces by disrupting their communication networks and other electronic threats using the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum. A significant effort is directed towards the Terrestrial Layer System (TLS), which is essential for Army modernization priorities, enabling rapid adaptation to evolving threat signatures.

Project CK3 focuses on developing the Terrestrial Layer System Echelons Above Brigade (TLS EAB). This system integrates Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and cyber capabilities to address Multi-Domain Battle capability gaps. The project aims to provide force protection, situational awareness, and information superiority to Army divisions and multi-domain task forces. Supported by various cross-functional teams, TLS EAB emphasizes integration and interoperability with emerging technologies to modernize forces effectively.

Project EW6 supports the Army Reprogramming Analysis Team (ARAT) in developing tools and methods for reprogramming mission software embedded in Army EW systems. This ensures that mission software can be rapidly updated in response to changes in threat signatures, enhancing the Army's ability to adapt quickly to new electronic warfare challenges. The ARAT initiative focuses on improving threat analysis tools, minimizing software development time, and ensuring efficient communication of updates to field units.

Project FJ5 is dedicated to developing the Terrestrial Layer System Brigade Combat Team (TLS BCT). This project provides integrated SIGINT, EW, and cyber capabilities for brigade combat teams. It aims to equip mounted formations with advanced systems that enhance force protection and situational awareness while offering commanders electronic attack options. The TLS BCT initiative supports multi-domain operations by ensuring that brigade combat teams are equipped with cutting-edge technology capable of addressing near-peer threats effectively.
