A. (U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Navy Electronic Warfare (EW) Science and Technology (S&T) Program addresses identified technology requirements for EW in cooperation with the other Services, placing special emphasis on Naval EW roles in Command and Control Warfare (C2W). This program develops technologies which support the effective utilization of naval force capabilities in the conduct of the Navy's Joint Mission Areas (JMAs) defined by Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV) (i.e., Strike, Joint Littoral Warfare, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Maritime Support of Land Forces, Readiness and Training). It is also vitally associated with future joint warfighting capabilities of "maintaining near perfect real-time knowledge of the enemy... " and " to counter the threat of...cruise missiles to the Continental United States (CONUS) and deployed forces". The program is planned jointly in accordance with Tri-Service Reliance agreements which allocate various EW disciplines and their attendant technology development responsibilities between the Army, Air Force and the Navy. As part of the Integrated S&T EW Program, efforts are subject to review and execution oversight by the Joint Director of Laboratories (JDL) Technology Panel for Electronic Warfare (TPEW).

(U) The emergence of a polycentric strategic environment, the evolving and diversified nature of the threat, and the proliferation of arms and technology have contributed to shifting the focus of conflict to regional and littoral areas. Concurrently, the global arms industry continues to supply increasingly sophisticated sensors and weapons to the world-wide arms market. The heterogeneous combination of military and commercial systems dictates the need to develop more advanced EW technologies which will be able to adequately exploit and counter the use of new threats.

(U) The structure and balance of this program are responsive to OPNAV guidance and identified System Command warfighting requirements and needs. The program features the integration of 6.1 and 6.2 programs with 6.3 EW core programs and Advanced Technology Demonstrations (ATD) which can produce prototypes suitable for naval force deployments and demonstrations. Program integration is achieved through the transition and implementation of program products. The program continues to support the Navy's highest priority need, Ship Self-Defense (SSD). It develops EW technologies to counter a range of threats (including multi-spectral/multi-modal sensors and seekers) and spans the entire electromagnetic spectrum by improving threat detection, identification, and location in the battle space. The program transitions new technologies to tactical aircraft (TACAIR), low observable aircraft, surface EW platforms, and Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) programs through developmental upgrades and direct technology insertions.

(U) Due to the sheer volume of efforts included in this Program Element, the programs described in the Accomplishments and Plans section are representative selections of the work included in this program element.

(U) The Navy S&T program includes projects that focus on or have attributes that enhance the affordability of warfighting systems.

(U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is budgeted within the APPLIED RESEARCH budget activity because it investigates technological advances with possible applications toward solution of specific Naval problems, short of a major development effort.
