win battles of information, the US Army will need deep sensing and data handling"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AUGUSTA, Ga. \u2014 One U.S. Army acquisitions office helping with the service\u2019s evolving plans to achieve what it calls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/smr\/technet-augusta\/2021\/09\/09\/us-army-works-through-what-information-advantage-is-and-how-to-achieve-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">information advantage<\/a> expects to contribute in two critical ways: through deep sensing and assessments of vast data collected on future battlefields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn our modernization priorities, there\u2019s this real need for us to sense deeper and to assess more of that data that we\u2019re now collecting when we enable this deeper sensing,\u201d said Mark Kitz, the program executive officer for intelligence, electronic warfare and sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In great power competition with advanced nations in the years to come, the Army expects to fight conflicts from a distance, requiring it to fire across thousands of miles \u2014 both with conventional weapons and electronic attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2020\/08\/19\/the-army-is-working-to-see-across-thousands-of-miles\/\" target=\"_blank\">it needs to see across these distances to develop and hit its targets<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PEO is \u201ctruly investing in capabilities that allow us to sense and then deliver some effect based on that sensing capability,\u201d Kitz said in a recent interview with C4ISRNET as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/smr\/technet-augusta\/\" target=\"_blank\">TechNet Augusta<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He provided examples of such technologies under development:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>High-Altitude Extended-Range Long Endurance Intelligence Observation System, an intelligence, cyber and electronic warfare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/smr\/technet-augusta\/2021\/08\/18\/us-army-wants-a-high-altitude-jammer\/\" target=\"_blank\">sensor that can fly above enemy territory<\/a>.<\/li><li>High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System, the Army\u2019s next-generation airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system.<\/li><li>Terrestrial Layer System, an integrated electronic warfare, cyber and signals intelligence platform the Army is designing for brigades and echelons above brigade to sense and deliver effects over great distances.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s really an exciting time for our PEO because none of these future modernization priorities of the Army can really operate successfully without the enablers of these sensor capabilities, whether that\u2019s our sensor-to-shooter architectures, whether that\u2019s our next-generation rotatory wing platforms or next-generation ground combat platforms, they\u2019re all really enabled by some of these sensors technologies that we\u2019re investing in,\u201d Kitz said. \u201cThose investments in sensor technologies would be moot without a commiserate investment in our assessment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On that front to assess and understand data, he noted the core investment is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/01\/13\/army-issues-17-million-in-contracts-for-titan-development\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node<\/a> system, a key piece in the sensor-to-shooter chain, connecting sensors from all domains to war fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kitz said TITAN will provide a sensor architecture that works across any platform to deliver data for Joint All-Domain Command and Control, the Pentagon\u2019s strategy to win future conflicts through a unified force that shares information more seamlessly and makes faster decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TITAN is a \u201creal critical enabler for us in the assessment of our data, [a] critical enabler for us in that future JADC2 environment that we want to operate in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Being more adaptive and flexible<\/b><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the revolution of software-defined capabilities, adversaries are able to develop new capabilities on faster and faster time cycles posing distinct challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army must adapt in kind and move away from lethargic acquisition cycles that lead to antiquated, hardware-centric platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn order to counter and collect against those adaptable threats, we\u2019ve got to be able to build these adaptable solutions,\u201d Kitz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example of an adaptable capability is the Army\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2021\/05\/11\/the-army-is-making-tank-upgrades-as-simple-as-switching-video-game-cartridges\/\" target=\"_blank\">C4ISR\/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards<\/a> open systems architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are currently exercising in a lot of our programs the ability to have this flexible architecture where multiple industry partners can deliver \u2026 these software-defined solutions or even hardware-defined solutions, but do it in a way where the government can easily &#8230; integrate disparate solutions to deliver different effects,\u201d Kitz said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Systems the Army is building \u2014 such as the Terrestrial Layer System and Multi-Function Electronic Warfare, a jamming pod mounted to a MQ-1C Gray Eagle \u2014 will have heterogeneous architectures that allow various industry partners to integrate their latest technologies, helping the service adapt to evolving threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PEO IEW&amp;S has worked closely with Army Futures Command to bake in flexible requirements for the products it buys so the service is not locked into rigid investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese [are] requirements solutions where we\u2019re collectively, with our requirements community, going after prototypes and truly learning with direct user feedback on these prototypes to inform what that final requirement would look like so that these capabilities can evolve over time, rather than going straight from a requirement document to a milestone C solution to a test activity. We\u2019re able to integrate user feedback in defining that end requirement using these prototyped solutions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More flexible contracting mechanisms, such as middle tier acquisition, the software acquisition pathway and other transaction agreements, have helped as the two offices invest in prototypes and shift their requirements to evolving needs, Kitz said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The service wants to use sensors to &#8220;see&#8221; across the larger distances expected for future battles.
