According to the C4ISRNET network on December 11, the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency is launching cloud-based electromagnetic warfare software.
The cloud-based Joint Electromagnetic Warfare Management Tool (EMM-J) collates multiple data streams into a simplified, shared interface for commanders to use. The first iteration is designed to improve situational awareness and coordination across services, while future upgrades will add more applications.
Kevin Laughlin, deputy director of the Spectrum Project Executive Office, said: "Command and control applies to mobility, offensive operations, and defensive operations, as well as how troops are aligned, how they are directed and directed to carry out their tasks, and how to meet their intentions. We want to do that within the electromagnetic spectrum. ”
The U.S. Department of Defense is once again prioritizing electronic warfare and the manipulation of the spectrum of valuable resources. In the years after the end of the Cold War, investment in sophisticated electronic warfare declined.
What warfighters don't have in their hands today is that it provides the ability to bring together many different sources of information, many different data sources into a single source," Laughlin said, "which makes the joint force meaningful and moves faster than anything else." ”
As a result, EMBM-J helps the Department of Defense pursue seamless connectivity known as Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2).
The software is designed to work with existing visualization and planning tools across services, such as the Army's electronic warfare planning and management tools and the Navy's real-time spectrum operations tools. The common data layer makes sharing possible.
Effective use of the electromagnetic spectrum is critical to successful military operations," said General Ammarie Anthony, director of the Air Force's Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Center. ”
