A Family of Systems designed to provide Electronic Warfare capabilities to the Army and Joint Force Commander. The IEWS is developed along three lines of effort: Multi-Function

EW (MFEW), EW Planning & Management (EWPMT), and Defensive Electronic Attack (DEA). Building blocks of IEWS will be modular, scalable and interoperable to allow tailored

responses to a variety of threats and scenarios.

• Reduces the risk of “frequency fratricide” through enhanced situational awareness and system compatibility

• Enhances Joint coordination through a networked planning and battle management capability

• Reduces Army dependency on high demand low density Joint EW systems (e.g., Prowler, Growler, Compass Call)

• Addresses a portion of 13 of 29 Army EW CBA Gaps and of 17 of 34 Joint EW CBA Gaps are addressed

• Provides networked capabilities to plan, manage and execute

EW operations within a highly complex operational

environment

• Gives organic air and ground EA capabilities to select units

• Enhances the Army’s ability to protect personnel, equipment

and facilities against EMS based threats

• Provides integrated and coordinated Electronic Attack (EA), Electronic Protection (EP) and Electronic Warfare Support (ES) capabilities to select units (e.g., Brigade Combat Teams)

• Gives commanders the ability to leverage and synergize both organic and external EW resources via networked and interoperable planning and battle management capabilities

Why POR (RCON)? • Investment based on Lessons Learned, constant change of vehicle for mobile ops, and opportunity to

provide additional capability with lifecycle cost savings

• Designed to better enable Technical Insertion/P3I

- Low coupling between modules; modular, scalable, open architecture allows insertion of new capability packages without impacting existing modules

• Reduced complexity/SWaP, improved usability, increased reliability/maintainability

- 80% less power, 40% less weight, 63% less volume, 43% less cabling

- Supports Multi-INT vehicle integration

- Hookup is simplified using visual cable and chassis markers; easier access to LRUs

- Use of common components reduces training costs

• Improved modularity/flexibility to support multiple simultaneous missions

- Mission -Tailorable – take only necessary equipment for specific mission

- Dismount & Man-pack; Dismount & Mobile; Mobile & Man-pack

- Functional capabilities fully contained in independent modules• SATCOM, Sensor, and Network/Server functions are independent

- Transit cases/modules powered independently

- Enables mobile (without A-kit) operations on various military platforms

Enables a non-vehicle specific solution and simultaneous ops with significant reductions in integration time, integration design cost and per system integration costs

Prophet Network Convergence WG• Goal: Migrate Prophet from TROJAN transport architecture into the Common Army

Tactical Architecture (WIN-T)

• Requirements: Due to Prophet’s unique mission, Prophet sensor and control nodes require low latency connectivity directly to NSA via NSANet, as well as access to JWICS, plus help desk and NETOPS support - WG has met three times (Aug and Oct 10, Jan 11) to refine requirements for Prophet,

e.g., Number of Nodes, Bandwidth by Enclave, Latency Constraints- ATH requirements are now threshold; OTM requirements moved to objective

• PM WIN-T and TCM N&S COA development has identified a proposed way-ahead that leverages WIN-T Incr 1 Modems at NSC-T and RHN’s as notional architecture. - Notional Architecture addresses QoS for Prophet Sensors as part of a Mesh Sub-Net

that assures at minimum 512Kbs threshold requirement

• Way Ahead for 2011:- Conduct “Face to Face” meeting with major stakeholders- Identify resources needed (funding, equipment, SATCOM bandwidth and

NSANet/JWICS connectivity) and coordinate schedule and draft test plan- Conduct Proof of Concept in CONUS using the NSC-T as a SATCOM PoP with direct

connectivity to the TNCCs or GISA.
