TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 U.S. special operations forces<\/a> need a tool<\/a> that can both jam radio frequencies to stop roadside bombs from exploding as well as neutralize drone threats by land, air and sea \u2014 and it has to be small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s what Special Operations Command<\/a> officials said Tuesday at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference, hosted in Florida by the National Defense Industrial Association. A lieutenant colonel who serves as the command\u2019s program manager for counterproliferation said SOCOM is seeking a next-generation multimission electronic countermeasure device. (Under rules of the conference, individuals at the paygrade of O-5 and below were not to be identified in press reports.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But an O-6, Army Col. Anh Ha, who leads the command\u2019s warrior-focused office, said a major initiative is ensuring an operator working in an isolated area \u2014 far from command infrastructure and with limited resources and power \u2014 can still have a shared, common operating picture with higher headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cContested comms, this one always scares everyone,\u201d Ha said. \u201cWhat happens when we can\u2019t talk?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its part, the Army\u2019s research budget last year emphasized tactical architecture for electronic warfare, C4ISRNET reported. That included a request to increase spending for the Multi-Function Electronic Warfare effort, the Terrestrial Layer System\u2014Brigade Combat Team program, the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool, and the Terrestrial Layer System\u2014Echelons Above Brigade effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big Army also pumped up its budget request last year to nearly triple its EW personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The counterproliferation Army lieutenant colonel at SOFIC is focused on a smaller package. \u201cCounter-unmanned systems: This consumes the bulk of our energy in the program office,\u201d the O5 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The office stood up the counter-UAS program this past fall, he noted, and although the current focus is on aerial threats, the office is looking for ground and maritime counter-drone options, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His team wants to find portable, dismounted and fixed expeditionary site options for the next-generation multimission electronic countermeasure gear. The Marine Corps and SOCOM have an existing system called Modi, made by the Sierra Nevada Corporation and used by the Army and Marines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next-gen version needs to hit those other domains and be more portable. The current dismounted system weighs 40 pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program manager said \u201cideally\u201d the office expects to select a system by fiscal 2024 and begin production in fiscal 2025. And SOCOM would like to run these systems as smoothly as they can in order to \u201creduce burden to our operators and incentivize autonomy as much as possible,\u201d the O5 said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
