Lockheed Martin has won the first phase of the Army’s long-range electronic warfare program.
The contract is for Phase 2 of the Terrestrial Layer System-Echelons Above Brigade, a capability that will be designed for higher echelons — primarily division and corps — that will need to monitor and sense the battlefield across greater distances than lower, more tactically focused echelons. It will be used by the Army’s Multi-Domain Task Force.
The technology comes as advanced adversaries are forcing the Army to operate at greater distances, and therefore, the service needs to be able to sense farther and at higher echelons.
The other transaction authority agreement totals $36.7 million for a 21-month period of performance, the Army announced Tuesday.
Lockheed Martin, in a release, said that in the coming months, it will build a prototype system at its Syracuse, New York facility.
