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)
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.
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.
Modular EA
Developing modular Electromagnetic Attack pods for multiple diverse platforms.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Cognitive Electromagnetic Warfare. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
