The Army is asking for industry\u2019s help with a new extended range electronic warfare capability and plans to issue a request for information in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Army knows this is a capability it needs, service leaders do not yet know the exact form a solution will take. Kenneth Strayer, deputy program manager for electronic warfare and cyber at Program Executive Office-Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, said during a panel at an AFCEA event May 1, it could be a dedicated airborne asset or a ground asset that provides some type of additional electronic warfare capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to get elevation, that\u2019s the only way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he, clarified to C4ISRNET following the panel, that \u201cfrom a materiel solution, we obviously don\u2019t know” what it will look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The request to industry will ask “some follow up questions on how industry would attack that problem and what are some things we need to think about as we define the requirements and the materiel approaches to provide that solution,\u201d Strayer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
