Description

Mission Cognitive Electronic Warfare

Cognitive Electromagnetic Warfare is an Air Force capability to analyze adversaries' use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), make real-time decisions assisted by machine learning/artificial intelligence, preform effective electromagnetic attack (EA), and share EA techniques and identification/targeting criteria to the joint warfighting force. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605829F, 060531F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full rate production.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)

EA Application Pipeline

Perform assessments and analyses for future open architecture Electromagnetic Attack (EA) capabilities and develop the pipeline to quickly transition those applications from lab to operational systems.

Analysis of Alternatives

Perform assessments and analyses for an Air Force capability to analyze adversaries' use of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), make real-time decisions assisted by machine learning/artificial intelligence, preform effective electromagnetic attack (EA), and share EA techniques and identification/targeting criteria to the joint warfighting force.

Modular EA

Developing modular Electromagnetic Attack pods for multiple diverse platforms.

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 17 of 1741 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Lobbying Mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
