(U) MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: Advanced Electronic Warfare Technology (AEWT) is the Navy's continuing, core Advanced Technology Development program for Electronic Warfare (EW) and is oriented to demonstrate and transition EW technology in cooperation with the other Services, placing special emphasis on Naval EW applications of Command and Control Warfare. This program continues to develop technologies which support the effective employment of naval force capabilities in the conduct of the Navy's Joint Mission Areas as defined by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) (i.e., Joint Strike, Joint Littoral Warfare, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Forward Presence/Deterrence, Maritime Support of Land Forces, Readiness and Training). P.E. 0603270N is managed at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) by the same office that directs P.E. 0602270N (Navy EW Technology) and provides the vast majority of projects to this program for demonstration and potential transition to full scale development. The ONR program manager is also a principal of the Joint Director of Laboratories (JDL) Technology Panel for EW which oversees and coordinates Tri-Service 6.2 & 6.3A EW programs. Consequently, this 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 Science and Technology EW Program, it is subject to the review and execution oversight of the JDL. AEWT is responsive to CNO guidance and the Systems Commands' warfighting requirements and needs. It develops EW technologies to counter a broad range of electromagnetic threats and is linked to 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 and deployed forces."
(U) The program transitions new technologies to Tactical Air (TACAIR), low observable aircraft, surface EW platforms, and Pre-planned Product Improvement programs to address the modern threat (including multi-spectral/multi-modal sensors and seekers). This is done by improving threat detection, identification, location and response through developmental upgrades and direct, advanced technology insertions. Currently, AEWT consists of two projects:
(U) E2194 - Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology: This project is a core continuing effort that transitions high-payoff EW technologies to the Fleet and reduces the integration risk of advanced EW systems. Primary focus is on providing threat warning and countermeasures, particularly infrared countermeasures (IRCM) to TACAIR platforms.
(U) R2090 - Functional Recognition & Response: Develops algorithms and techniques to recognize emitters by measuring and analyzing their observable, radar function parameters and develops generic countermeasures techniques to provide protection against any hostile emitter. Uses non-developmental item or develops hardware (as required) to implement Functional Recognition demonstrations and assess overall operational improvement to extant capabilities.
(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 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT Budget Activity because it encompasses design, development, simulation, or experimental testing or prototype hardware to validate technological feasibility and concept of operations and reduce technological risk prior to initiation of a new acquisition program or transition to an ongoing acquisition program.
