INTRODUCTION

Project Manager Electronic Warfare is announcing Integrated Electronic Warfare System (IEWS) Outreach Day 2 to be conducted 27 March 2012 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. IEWS is the Army's concept for long term materiel solutions that address select Electronic Warfare (EW) gaps. IEWS consists of a family of systems that provides Brigade Combat Team (BCT) commanders with an organic EW capability that dramatically improves a land force's ability to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage within the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) in order to execute decisive operations successfully.

DESCRIPTION

There are three distinct IEWS lines of effort; however, the building blocks of IEWS will be modular, scalable and interoperable to allow system growth in responses to a variety of emerging threats and scenarios. The EW Planning & Management Tool (EWPMT) program is a suite of software tools and applications that enhance the Electronic Warfare Element's ability to coordinate and synchronize EW throughout the operations process. EWPMT will allow the Electronic Warfare Officer to plan, coordinate, manage, and deconflict distributed, networked EW assets and activities within their area of operations. The Multi-Function EW (MFEW) program is a family of systems that provide offensive electronic attack (EA) and electronic warfare support (ES) capability organic to the BCT. MFEW will consist of ground vehicle, dismounted, fixed site, and airborne EA variants to deliver scalable non-lethal effects to support Unified Land Operations and protect personnel, equipment and facilities. The Defensive Electronic Attack (DEA) program is a family of systems that provide force protection to ground forces operating in convoys, dismounted units, and fixed locations in support of BCT operations. The IEWS family of systems will be networked to allow remote operation, dynamic tasking and reprogramming, electronic warfare support to intelligence, and will empower the BCT commander to shape the electromagnetic spectrum to their advantage.
