00:06.600 --> 00:08.540
- [John] The electro magnetic
spectrum has come to the

00:08.540 --> 00:09.820
forefront of warfare, as a

00:09.820 --> 00:12.560
new vital aspect of battlefield success.

00:12.560 --> 00:15.280
Project manager, electronic
warfare in cyber,

00:15.280 --> 00:17.100
has made it their business to lead the way

00:17.100 --> 00:18.870
with technologies that will keep soldiers

00:18.870 --> 00:21.470
on the cutting edge, of
combat and intelligence,

00:21.470 --> 00:23.033
in multi-domain operations.

00:24.330 --> 00:26.200
- Multi-Function Warfare at large,

00:26.200 --> 00:28.730
are empty, they are AAL.

00:28.730 --> 00:30.510
Provides the Maneuver Commander with the

00:30.510 --> 00:33.650
ability to sense an
electromagnetic spectrum.

00:33.650 --> 00:36.441
That's very important, especially as we

00:36.441 --> 00:39.430
build capabilities to
address the national defense

00:39.430 --> 00:43.310
security strategy, such
as near-peer threats.

00:43.310 --> 00:46.150
Near-peer threats utilize
a lot of (mumbles) threats,

00:46.150 --> 00:50.210
or radars, in order to aid them

00:51.049 --> 00:53.410
in seeing our capabilities.

00:53.410 --> 00:57.700
So, our ability to sense those in the EMS

00:57.700 --> 01:00.490
is very important to provide
the maneuver commander

01:00.490 --> 01:02.860
with information about the threat.

01:02.860 --> 01:05.893
- TRADOC Capability Manager,
electronic warfare is

01:05.893 --> 01:08.637
our prime user, and they're
the people we work with,

01:08.637 --> 01:11.740
on understanding what the users needs are,

01:11.740 --> 01:14.920
and then mapping that to capabilites,

01:14.920 --> 01:17.500
and putting together an
actual material solution.

01:17.500 --> 01:20.740
So, I would say it's a
relationship between the

01:20.740 --> 01:23.660
user community, as well as industry.

01:23.660 --> 01:25.260
And working together,
and understanding the

01:25.260 --> 01:27.170
technologies, in order to do that

01:27.170 --> 01:29.747
material development for the user.

01:29.747 --> 01:31.480
- [John] MFEW Air Large
started it's air based

01:31.480 --> 01:34.230
testing at joint based
McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst,

01:34.230 --> 01:36.270
where many different
airframe based technologies

01:36.270 --> 01:38.010
have their first time in the sky.

01:38.010 --> 01:40.160
Engineers and industry
partners will continue these

01:40.160 --> 01:43.760
sorts of tests, on JDNDL and elsewhere,

01:43.760 --> 01:46.010
to ensure a greater range of capabilites,

01:46.010 --> 01:48.110
for the MFEW Air Large, that ensure

01:48.110 --> 01:49.740
American forces can continue to

01:49.740 --> 01:51.590
match threats of many types.

01:51.590 --> 01:54.440
After testing is complete, MFEW AL will be

01:54.440 --> 01:58.740
mounted on a MQ-1C Gray Eagle,
for missions in the field.

01:58.740 --> 02:01.260
I'm John Higgins,
program executive office,

02:01.260 --> 02:03.630
intelligence electronic
warfare and sensors,

02:03.630 --> 02:04.633
public affairs.
