Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT)

The Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) is focused on enhancing the Army's capabilities in navigating contested electromagnetic environments. The primary goal of this initiative is to develop and integrate the Navigation Warfare Situational Awareness (NAVWAR-SA) software, which aims to counteract adversarial efforts that disrupt Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services. This system of systems approach is designed to detect, geolocate, and assess the impact of GPS disruptions in contested areas. It provides critical situational awareness to commanders and soldiers.

NAVWAR-SA seeks to provide immediate notifications to PNT users about potential jamming or spoofing threats, enabling them to take necessary actions to mitigate these threats. The program supports Multi-Domain Operations by ensuring precision in fires, movement, maneuver, and force tracking through enhanced data networks. The integration of NAVWAR-SA into the EWPMT involves developing Application Program Interfaces (API) and conducting rigorous testing to ensure seamless functionality within existing military systems.

In Fiscal Year 2025, efforts will continue with a focus on transitioning and demonstrating the NAVWAR-SA software. This includes further integration into the EWPMT software baseline and conducting operational assessments to validate its effectiveness. The acquisition strategy for NAVWAR-SA leverages a combination of competitive contracts and agreements to expedite technology development while incorporating feedback from operational environments.

The NAVWAR-SA initiative aims to provide a scalable, interoperable solution that enhances the Army's ability to maintain PNT integrity in challenging environments. By utilizing advanced prototyping and experimentation methods, the program seeks to deliver a robust capability that addresses current and future electromagnetic spectrum challenges faced by Army forces.
