Description
TERRESTRIAL LAYER SYSTEMS (TLS) aims to provide the Army maneuver forces with integrated full spectrum Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Cyber-enabling non-kinetic offensive operation options to Brigade Combat Team (BCT) and other unit commanders. The program supports multi-domain operations and deep sensing, enhancing information superiority to influence the commander's decision cycle, improve targeting timeliness and accuracy, and provide the maneuver commander with electronic attack and offensive cyber warfare options. The TLS BCT's Urgent Capability Acquisition (UCA) program fulfills the validated V Corps ONS requirement, accelerating delivery of TLS BCT capability in alignment with HQDA equipping priorities and urgent need. Additionally, the program provides Army Division, Corps, and Multi-Domain Task Forces with a terrestrial-based, extended-range/deep sensing, collection, and electromagnetic attack capability combining SIGINT, EW, and Cyber-enabling effects to locate, identify and exploit peer and near-peer threat Signals of Interest (SOIs) with EA and offensive cyber warfare options.
