US Army to Solicit “Electromagnetic Warfare Rapid Integration System” Proposals
The US Army’s Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (PEO IEW&S) is planning to release a solicitation for a new program dubbed the Electromagnetic Warfare Rapid Integration System (ERIS). Within PEO IEW&S, the Project Manager Electronic Warfare & Cyber (PM EW&C), Product Lead Electronic Attack (PL EA), is seeking develop “a suite of electromagnetic warfare capabilities to protect Army forces against a wide range of radio frequency-controlled threats, by countering Command and Control (C2) links and other communications links from air and ground,” according to a program announcement. It goes on to state, “The ERIS systems will be a flexible, open architecture that allows for the integration of various components and technologies to adapt to evolving threats and mission requirements. The goal is to demonstrate modular and scalable components to meet multi-mission requirements, with minimal configuration change, to minimize development cost and avoid mission specific hardware/software system configurations.”
The PL EA office plans to issue an ERIS solicitation around October 15 on https://vulcan-sof.com. The contracting point of contact is Ms. Kellie Clavijo, email [email protected]. – JED Staff
