Kevin Finch, program manager for electronic warfare and cyber within Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors. Finch spoke to C4ISRNET during an interview Oct. 15 at the annual Association of the U.S. Army conference. \u201cThen we\u2019ll downselect to one vendor and then we\u2019ll go forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finch said the plan is to have the first units equipped with the system by fall 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two primary pre-prototypes include the Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS) \u2014 mounted on a Stryker and its smaller Flyer72 based variant Tactical Electronic Warfare Light (TEWL) \u2014 and the Tactical Signals Intelligence Vehicle (TSIG). Both are integrated platforms the Army is using to experiment with technologies that would allow for sensing, signals intelligence, electronic warfare and RF-enabled cyberattacks.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=937c1f22-cc6a-45cc-ab6d-dbcc2047d5f8\" poster=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/video-poster-937c1f22-cc6a-45cc-ab6d-dbcc2047d5f8.jpg\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Col. Kevin Finch, the PM for electronic warfare, explains what his office has learned in 2019.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TEWS is being used with 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, which took the system to the National Training Center as a way for Army leaders to learn how it was used. It was also part of the Cyber Blitz experiment in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TEWL has also been used by 173rd airborne brigade combat team in Vicenza, Italy, according to officials with General Dynamics. Army leaders aren\u2019t just interested in the capability itself, officials and members of industry have said, but the concepts for how they will be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finch explained that service leaders aren\u2019t exactly sure which vehicle types TLS will be outfitted to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe feedback that we\u2019re receiving from [Forces Command] is driving that as well as the feedback from the units,\u201d he said. \u201cObviously, they want to see a vehicle that is like to the formation. For a Stryker to have a Stryker. For an armored formation it would be an [Assault Breacher Vehicle] type of platform. Right now that\u2019s actually one of the decisions we\u2019re waiting to get finalized moving forward is \u2018hey, what platform do you need to put this on?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials have described a TLS family of ground systems to include an extended range, which will be used as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2019\/05\/02\/the-army-wants-help-with-extended-range-electronic-warfare\/\" target=_blank>a division and corps asset<\/a>, TLS large, which will be a mounted on a large vehicle like a Stryker, TLS small, which will likely remain vehicle mounted but feature a smaller form factor, and TLS dismount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TLS large is expected to be the first to be developed and fielded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army officials hope to have companies selected by April to continue evolving the
