The Army \u2014 looking to get away from sometimes-antiquated acquisition processes \u2014 is using existing events to better inform new electronic warfare programs and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Terrestrial Layer System is an integrated EW and signals intelligence system that will provide a much-needed jamming capability to formations. Assessments, exercises and even deployments of quick-reaction capabilities are informing how the service will move forward on prototyping and providing much-needed capabilities such as this one to units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army has directed the requisite capabilities offices to execute experimentation and demonstration of integrated SIGINT\/EW\/cyber at the brigade level to inform TLS requirements, Col. Jennifer McAfee, director of the Training and Doctrine Command\u2019s capabilities manager for terrestrial and identity at the Intelligence Center of Excellence, told C4ISRNET in a November interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
