Battle Damage Assessment for Electronic Warfare Planning and Operation

Vadum will develop a TRL 6 software module; Electronic Warfare Battle Damage Assessment Module (EW-BDA). The module will begin integration into the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) under development by Product Manager Electronic Warfare (PM EW) and Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems (SAS). Phase II integration will culminate with testing and demonstration of the module within the EWPMT Rapid Development Baseline (RDB). The RDB is an internal Raytheon code base for testing new EWPMT capabilities. The module will also be developed for standalone demonstration outside of EWPMT with an open and modular implementation that supports integration into other DoD EW planning and management applications. The BDA module will support EWPMT to improve situational awareness and will for the first time provide feedback on the effectiveness of EW missions in real-time. This will support EWMPTs objective to increase the EWOs impact on the commanders team, particularly at the Battalion and Brigade levels. As the importance of EW grows in modern warfare, the EWO can employ tools like EWPMT with EW-BDA to bring the weight of full spectrum EW operations to bear.
