Electronic Warfare Discovery and Invention (D&I): The goal of electronic warfare is to control the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum by exploiting, disrupting, or denying enemy use of the spectrum while ensuring its use by friendly forces. To that end, ONR's Electronic Warfare Discovery and Invention (D&I) program invests in science and technology (S&T) initiatives that will provide naval forces (including Navy and Marine Corps) with improved threat warning systems, electronic support measures (ESM), decoys, and electronic attack (EA) countermeasures as well as communication and navigation countermeasures. ONR 312 Electronic Warfare (EW) seeks white papers for efforts that shall develop and demonstrate technologies for the next generation components and systems in Electronic Warfare. White papers should address technology developments in one or more of the following areas. 6.1 Extending the EW Spectrum The objective is to increase Naval (Navy and Marine Corps) dominance of the EW spectrum by extending our capabilities beyond the traditional radio frequency (RF) radar (1-18 GHz) and electro-optical / infrared (EO/IR) (0.1 - 5 microns) bands. Potential hostile use of the extended spectrum will require both signal detection and exploitation technologies (ESM) and spectral attack and denial technologies (EA). Potential spectral extensions include: a. Low band RF (HF/VHF/UHF 3-1000 MHz) - EA only b. Millimeter wave (K/Ka Band 18-40 GHz, W Band 75-110 GHz) - EA only c. Terahertz (300-3000 GHz) d. Long-Wave Infrared (8-12 microns) e. Far Infrared (12-100 microns) f. Acoustics (open air transmission) 6.2 Exploiting Non-Traditional Signals The objective is to increase Naval (Navy and Marine Corps) capabilities to detect, locate, track, ID, and counter RF emitters beyond traditional pulsed radar and communications transmitters. Early efforts will focus on detection and exploitation (ESM), followed by electronic attack and denial (EA) as our detection capabilities mature. Potential signal types include: a. Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) - EA only b. Phase-coded waveforms - EA only c. Spread spectrum, frequency hopping signals d. Noise-like waveforms e. Unintentional RF emissions f. Optical communications / data links g. Network links 6.3 Countering Passive Detection Systems The objective is to provide naval (Navy and Marine Corps) capabilities to detect and counter passive detection technologies. The use of RF passive coherent location (PCL) systems and multi-/hyper-spectral detectors and imagers will be especially challenging because hostile use is not announced through RF or EO/IR emissions. Novel techniques and technology will be required to degrade or deny these capabilities, including: a. Methods to remotely detect and identify passive detection systems b. RF deception waveforms and techniques c. EO/IR spectral deception or obscuration 6.4 Network-Enabled Electronic Warfare The objective is to develop modeling and simulation efforts and conduct field trials and demonstrations to explore the advantages and limitations of network-enabled electronic warfare concepts. The advantages of linking multiple ESM and EA assets to achieve improved capabilities across a networked battleforce have yet to be quantified. Efforts in this area might include: a. Test scenario and methodology development b. Determination of quantifiable metrics c. Determination of link requirements d. Exploration of coordinated vs. scripted interactions e. Development of methods to realistically assess the effectiveness of EW employment
