WASHINGTON \u2014 The Defense Information Systems Agency is rolling out software it says is critical to preparing and executing electronic warfare operations across the U.S. military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloud-based Electromagnetic Battle Management-Joint tool, or EMBM-J, collates multiple streams of data into a simplified, shared interface<\/a> for commanders. The first iteration is aimed at improved situational awareness and coordination across the services; future upgrades will bolt on additional applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCommand and control applies to both maneuver, offensive actions and defensive actions, how you array your forces, how you guide and direct them to execute missions, to meet the intent,\u201d Kevin Laughlin, the deputy director for the Program Executive Office for Spectrum, told reporters Dec. 8. \u201cAnd we want to do that within the electromagnetic spectrum domain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Defense is again prioritizing electronic warfare<\/a> \u2014 and the manipulation of the spectrum, a precious resource \u2014 as it digs out of the Greater Middle East to confront the global ambitions of Russia and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in sophisticated electronic warfare fell off in the years following the Cold War.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
