Gen. Ed Barker, head of Program Executive Office-Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, laid out some ways in which commanders might use electronic warfare equipment on a panel at the annual Association of Old Crows Annual Symposium in National Harbor, Maryland, on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo help that commander see what they look like within the [electromagnetic spectrum],\u201d Barker said. \u201cWhat do they need to control?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barker also discussed the suite of electronic warfare capabilities in his PEO portfolio, including the recently fielded TLS BCT and the future TLS Echelons Above Brigade, or TLS EAB, under development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The systems will allow soldiers to conduct both signals intelligence and electronic detection and attack in one package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s providing them the ability to understand and affect in the [electromagnetic spectrum] environment,\u201d Barker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an Army release, Col. Leslie Gorman, Army Capability Manager \u2014 Electronic Warfare director, described the TLS BCT as a smaller and lighter version of a similar device first used by Army special operations forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three \u201cTransformation in Contact\u201d brigades now putting TLS BCT through its paces are the 2nd Light Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii; the 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum, New York; and the 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally, the military often withdraws units from operations to field, test and implement new equipment and tactics. The \u201cTransformation in Contact\u201d approach seeks to continuously improve equipment fielding and adoption as the modern battlefield rapidly transforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 101st Brigade conducted their rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center, Fort Johnson, in late August. In October, the Hawaii brigade did its Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 10th Mountain brigade is slated for an overseas rotation next year in which its members will use the TLS BCT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two of the brigades already have the gear, according to the release, with the third to receive it soon. Officials did not specify which brigades had the equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three will provide feedback from experiences \u201cin the box\u201d at the combat training center rotations and on real-world deployments back to the developers. That feedback is expected to help improve the equipment as the service upgrades it and fields new versions continually across the Army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A handful
