The Army is beefing up its electronic warfare and offensive cyber capabilities with a new family of technology.
The service recently awarded Lockheed Martin a $75 million contract for phase two of the Multi-Function Electronic Warfare-Air Large, or MFEW-AL, program, which will give the service enhanced digital firepower through the use of a podded system on an unmanned platform.
“This is very critical because this capability will enable all the [brigade combat teams] and division commanders the ability to see deep in the battlespace†and engage targets, said Col. Kevin Finch, program manager for electronic warfare cyber at the Army’s program executive office for intelligence, electronic warfare and sensors.
