The contract award follows a half-year of white paper submissions and technical evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TLS-BCT Manpack is meant to give troops on the move a means of conducting electronic warfare and signals intelligence. It is a smaller offshoot of the TLS-BCT, to be installed aboard Stryker combat vehicles, and the even beefier TLS-Echelons Above Brigade, envisioned for use by larger formations including divisions and corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fledgling kit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/electronic-warfare\/2023\/04\/27\/us-army-to-tailor-long-range-jammer-for-europe-indo-pacific-theaters\/\" target=\"_blank\">complements TLS-BCT and -EAB<\/a> \u201cwith a shared and open systems approach that creates the flexibility and efficiencies needed against a highly adaptive threat,\u201d according to Kenneth Strayer, project manager for electronic warfare and cyber at PEO IEW&amp;S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is reinvesting in electronic warfare \u2014 and manipulation of the electromagnetic spectrum \u2014 after years of divestment. Contracts for the TLS family have so far totaled tens of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manpack variant is expected to move from prototype to production in fiscal

Army<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York-based Mastodon Design was purchased by information-technology specialist CACI in 2019 for $225 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CACI in 2022 reaped $4.3 billion in defense-related revenue, earning it the No. 27 spot on <a href=\"https:\/\/people.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\" target=\"_blank\">the
