WASHINGTON — The Pentagon’s independent weapons tester verified that the U.S. Army’s premier electronic-warfare visualization software is operationally effective and capable of assisting soldiers in the field.
The service’s Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool, or EWPMT, contributed to the successful engagement of “high-payoff targets,” provided effective tools for understanding the electromagnetic spectrum and, overall, improved situational awareness during trials, the Office of the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation said in its latest public report, released late last month.
Testing of the planning tool, years in the making and still being refined, was handled by the 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, in conjunction with a command-post exercise at Fort Carson, Colorado.
