Improved Situational Awareness Regarding Electromagnetic Spectrum
Military forces have to manage an increasingly complex electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) at the tactical environment. This encompasses the entire field of electromagnetic radiation that surrounds us – infrared, radar, TV and radio waves, jamming systems, electronic warfare, etc.
A new software under development will give the operators of military hardware, including aircraft, situational awareness of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The U.S. Army is in the final stages of developing a software tool, the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT). Raytheon is currently developing the last stage of the technology under a contract with the US Army.
The tool is designed to plan, manage and control sensors and other systems in the electromagnetic spectrum to provide fighting forces with critical information on the crowded signal environment of a modern battlefield.
The framework will allow electronic warfare officers to analyze possible courses of action and to provide situational awareness for Army brigade combat team commanders.
