Europe\u2019s increasingly contested environments have required increasingly complex electronic warfare planning tools. Vehicles, however, can\u2019t house the power of command posts, so the Army is adapting an existing system for the tactical edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool, or EWPMT, is a command-and-control planning capability that allows commanders and soldiers to visualize on a screen the effects of electronic warfare in the field. As part of efforts to provide soldiers additional capabilities for EWPMT ahead of the program\u2019s scheduled add-ons \u2014 an effort dubbed Raven Claw \u2014 the Army received feedback that troops at the vehicle or platform level don\u2019t need the full application required at command posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feedback coincided with other observations from the Raven Claw deployment, which officials said were mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt does what it\u2019s supposed to do, but it requires a lot of computing capacity and also it requires a lot of inputs from the [electronic warfare officers] right now,\u201d Col. Mark Dotson, the Army\u2019s capability manager for electronic warfare, told C4ISRNET in a November interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
