Cyber Future Capability Directorate RFI

The Cyber Future Capability Directorate is seeking information on capabilities to support future Army Cyberspace Operations, Electromagnetic Warfare (EW), and Signal/communications networks and data services. The directorate is looking for solutions that can provide comprehensive support for future capabilities and requirements for Army EW. The desired capabilities include adaptable, scalable, rapidly deployable, and attributable/non-attributable EW solutions. Some of the key characteristics of the desired EW systems include common, low-cost, low-weight, and low-power payloads for Army unmanned platforms, standardized interfaces to support EW payloads that pair artificial intelligence/machine learning with electromagnetic attack, electromagnetic support, and electromagnetic protect techniques, and independent communication links to achieve full autonomy and form a localized network to maintain situational awareness and enable rapid reconfiguration. Some of the key points to consider are: • The capability to modify waveforms in a matter of minutes and distribute to systems against a variety of adversary/enemy EMS dependent assets • The ability to survey the EMS footprint of an area of operation before, during, and after operations to provide feedback to the commander on EMS use • The ability to perform obfuscation prior to, during, and after various missions to mask the intent of a force and confuse adversary units • The ability to provide the use of existing techniques along with developing techniques as threats arise to enable systems to be emplaced and remotely operated across broad frequency ranges.
