Electromagnetic Warfare Int Reprog (EWIR)

Mission — Sensing and Spectrum Warfare Technology source

Electromagnetic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) postures for the future of reprogramming by reducing risk through repairing and rebuilding existing Electronic Warfare (EW) programs and modernizing the Electromagnetic Spectrum and Electronic Warfare enterprise. This program creates new EW/Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) Sensing and Spectrum Warfare Technology and conducts prototyping activities on emerging and enabling technologies to inform future EMSO capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability.

Mission — Multispectral Sensing source

This program creates new EW/Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) Multispectral Sensing capabilities and conducts prototyping activities on emerging and enabling technologies to inform future EMSO capabilities.

Mission — Electronic Warefare Integrated Reprogram RDT&E source

The Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) program element hosts the DoD's first System of System Technology Integration Tool Chain for Heterogeneous Electronic Systems (STITCHES) Warfighter Application Team (SWAT) at the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing (350 SWW). SWAT is an integration team employing, maintaining, and instructing other teams in the DoD how to use the STITCHES integration platform. STITCHES is a fully government developed, owned, and open-source Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) toolchain and multi-classification information system that creates new capabilities by integrating incompatible DoD fielded systems and architectures together without the need to modify system source code. STITCHES' separable and community-based databases allow disparate teams across the DoD to utilize STITCHES and SWAT in separate security levels without co-mingling data. The 350 SWW will utilize SWAT to generate requested capability using the STITCHES interoperability software on systems both within and external to the 350 SWW and deploy the capabilities created to the requesting organizations. SWAT interfaces and integrates with other DoD systems and their authorities to support 350 SWW missions and HHQ directed activities. SWAT is responsible for testing and deploying STITCHES generated interoperability into DoD systems supported by the 350 SWW, working with existing DoD test and certification organizations, and teaming with organizations outside of the 350 SWW when adapting and creating novel system of systems using capabilities from these organizations. SWAT will deliver adaptive and cutting-edge electromagnetic spectrum capabilities that provide the warfighter a tactical and strategic competitive advantage and freedom to attack, maneuver, and defend. SWAT is a software development team composed of a government tiger team, the STITCHES toolchain developer, a secure cloud infrastructure and repository developer, and mission partners. SWAT includes a revolving team of subsystem subject matter experts when adapting DoD systems using STITCHES. SWAT is responsible for the execution of tasks employing STITCHES outlined in NDAA 2021 Section 804 and supports Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) tasking and integration efforts in support of JADC2. SWAT will conduct regular STITCHES training courses to scale the capability to the DoD. SWAT may team with other DoD organizations utilizing STITCHES to increase the scale of the deployed capabilities. The STITCHES integration platform achieved a Cross Domain Solution (CDS) Authority to Operate (ATO) prior to the DoD's Raise The Bar (RTB) certification requirement process. The STITCHES integration platform will be submitted to the National Cross Domain Strategy and Management Office (NCDSMO) for Cross Domain Solution certification in FY24. This program integrates DoD systems together to create new EW/EMSO capabilities and conducts prototyping activities on emerging and enabling technologies to inform future EMSO capabilities. 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, 0605831F, 0605833F, or 0605898F. In FY24 $0M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and FY25 $0M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element.
