electromagnetic warfare electronic warfare (EW) cyber warfare


ARLINGTON, Va. – U.S. Navy researchers needed open-systems electromagnetic warfare enabling technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. They found their solution from Pacific Defense Strategies Inc. in El Segundo, Calif.

Officials of the Office of Naval Research in Arlington, Va., announced a $17.4 million contract to Pacific Defense on Friday for the Common Sensor Platform for Strategic and Distributed Autonomous Cyber-Electronic Warfare (EW) project.

Pacific Defense will develop an artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-enabled common EW sensor-effectuator for future tactical AI, machine learning, cyber warfare, and EW at the tactical edge.

The open-systems hardware and software standard called CMOSS — which is short for C5ISR/Electronic Warfare Modular Open Suite of Standards — will help guide Pacific Defense’s technology development. C5ISR stands for command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

Pacific Defense will develop distributed AI capabilities such as autonomous cyber-EW effects for use in several vehicles in RF-denied and -intermittent environments; cooperative distributed EW; a web-based smart user interface for mission planning; and command, control, and situational awareness.

Pacific Defense also will build CMOSS-compliant marine electromagnetic warfare ground systems sensors for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Electromagnetic warfare involves high-energy RF and laser weapons.

On this contract Pacific Defense will do the work in El Segundo, Calif.; Pittsburgh; and Fairfax, Va., and should be finished by March 2026. the contract is part of the Long Range Broad Agency Announcement (N00014-23-S-B001) for Navy and Marine Corps science and technology.

Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Directorate on boarded into the ISR and Cyber Effects Operations staff > U.S. Air Force > Article Display


Headquarters Air Force staff officially transferred the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Superiority Directorate from strategy, integration and requirements directorate to the intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and cyber effects operations directorate Oct. 1.

In conjunction with the directorate move, the EMS Superiority Directorate also absorbed the Air Force Spectrum Management Office (AFSMO) as its fourth division. This move consolidates Electromagnetic Spectrum Operation functions under a single staff – focused on Information Warfare integration efforts across the conflict continuum and is the latest milestone within the Air Force – streamlining oversight, policy and guidance to foster greater collaboration of efforts across various competitive and increasingly dynamic domains.

“It is vital that we leverage, defend and compete across the entire electromagnetic spectrum in order to deliver effects in and through the information environment now and into the future,” said Lt. Gen. Mary O’Brien, deputy chief of staff for ISR and cyber effects operations (A2/6).

Since its inception in 2019, current EMS Superiority Director, Brig. Gen. Tad Clark and his team have been working to ensure the Department of the Air Force is able to “maintain the advantage in the electromagnetic spectrum to stay one step ahead of the strategic competition and maintain freedom of action.”

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. highlighted their work during the Fall 2021 Air Force Association Air, Space and Cyber Conference stating, “I am glad to see the directorate developing the next generation of Airmen and making the changes needed to ensure dominance.”

The Department of Defense published an Electromagnetic Spectrum Strategy (EMSS) in 2020 providing direction and highlighting the importance of EMS superiority in future warfare. Subsequently, the Air Force published its own Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy in Apr. 2021.

Following the establishment of the EMSS and the development of the electromagnetic spectrum implementation strategy, Air Combat Command stood up the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing in June of 2021 to implement EMS…
