  2. UNCLASSIFIED Criticality of Spectrum Control of the spectrum is a strategic capability; necessary for every conflict in the foreseeable future. Adversaries will exploit our gaps in spectrum and EW operations, technology, and training. EW proponency across DoD is distributed through multiple organizations across the services. A healthy and joint EW capability is vital to U.S. warfighters. It always has and will continue to save lives. UNCLASSIFIED 2

  3. UNCLASSIFIED Fleet EW Value to Joint Operations SIR , I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SUPPORT WILL REDUCE CASUALTIES MORE THAN ANY OTHER SINGLE ACTION OF THE LONG WAR. Recognition of the Navy’s unique Counter RCIED contribution to the Joint Fight Expertise in the Electromagnetic Spectrum saves lives UNCLASSIFIED

  4. UNCLASSIFIED Electromagnetic Spectrum Warfare ADVERSARY FACTORS Directed Energy Digital RF Memory (DRFM) Millimeter Wave (MMW) GPS Jamming Advanced C2 Nets $Billions invested in capabilities collecting information $Billions invested in capabilities using information MANEUVER EMS SPACE ¢ Pennies invested in protecting EMS maneuver space FRIENDLY FACTORS • Limited Navy EP capabilities • Poor interoperability • Limited training in congested/ contested EM environment • Increasing spectrum demands Viewing traditional EW in broader EMS Warfare concepts UNCLASSIFIED

  5. UNCLASSIFIED EW in Information Dominance “We are bringing together the resource sponsorship for all of our information-related capabilities into one entity [to] include intelligence, networks, electronic warfare, cyber, meteorology and oceanography, space and unmanned systems. They will all be resourced in one organization… to achieve information dominance for the Navy….” - ADM Gary Roughead, USN, CNO Center for Strategic and International Studies 1 October 2009 UNCLASSIFIED

  8. UNCLASSIFIED Flag-Led Fleet EW & Spectrum Efforts • Doctrine IPT • Led by Commander, Navy Warfare Development Command • Developing Navy EW Concept; will leverage broader Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) Warfare concept • Training IPT • Led by Commander, Strike Force Training Atlantic • Recent FEWC-led surface ship EW assessments have garnered Flag-level support to increase focus on Fleet EW training and readiness • Technology IPT • Led by Commander, Naval Surface Warfare Center • Developing solutions to JROC-approved, Navy-related EW material gaps; assisting in development of Fleet EW IPCL UNCLASSIFIED

  9. Information as a Weapon “The biggest breakthrough of the current fight in OEF and OIF is the successful integration of intelligence with operations, and using the network to get information to the right person at the right time, in the right way. That is where the power is.” - ADM Gary Roughead, USN, CNO 17 July 2009
