  1. E-Warfare: EW, IW and Cyber WarfareA US Perspective COL (Ret) Laurie “Moe” Buckhout President, AOC The AOC: Leading Spectrum Warfare and the EW and IO Communities

  2. The Bad News: We’re not where we need to be – no coherent strategies for e-Warfare because of distributed and disconnected leadership and oversight.The Good News: We at least are beginning to understand the criticality of the EMS in uniting all warfighting domains and are attacking the problem.Just pray we don’t run out of money before we figure it out.

  3. A Bit of a Problem EW IO CNO EMS

  4. US IO – Old and New Old Definition: “Information Operations (IO) – the integrated employment of electronic warfare (EW), computer network operations (CNO), psychological operations (PSYOP), military deception (MILDEC), and operations security (OPSEC), in concert with specified supporting and related capabilities, to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp adversarial human and automated decision making while protecting our own.” New Definition: “The integrated employment, during military operations, of information-related capabilities in concert with other lines of operation to influence, disrupt, corrupt, or usurp the decision-making of adversaries and potential adversaries while protecting our own”

  5. Cyberspace Operations

  6. Coherent View of the Electromagnetic Environment

  7. EMS: Whose Problem Is It? Intel? CYBER? Ops? Federal ? Comms? International? IO? Services?

  8. “You can’t touch the spectrum, you can’t see the spectrum, and the devices which manipulate the spectrum are a mystery to everyone but technical experts.  It is a challenge to explain Electronic Warfare to Members of Congress and even senior officials at the Department of Defense.  But controlling the Electromagnetic Spectrum is essential to winning wars and protecting our service members.” Rep Rick Larsen September 15, 2010 Is this critical element just another “enabler” which connects other domains? And if we continue to see it as such, will we ever develop the leadership and oversight and management to ensure our ability to fight and win within this particular arena?

  9. When does an environment become a “domain?” ? Cyberspace When you want to preserve it for Sovereign use… Space Air Sea Land And with a domain follows governance, leadership, resources – all those things needed for forces to develop capabilities to fight within that domain…

  10. Is this something we want to preserve for our sovereign use? YES!!!

  11. The EMS as Domain – Essential to Winning • EMS is a Global Common: The last ten years of conflict have proven beyond a doubt the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is a global commons – it is both contested and congested with very little control or supervision. All Services, all industries, all nations use the spectrum, both in conflict and peacetime. The US Military must create sovereign options in the EMS Domain through policy, doctrine and organization. • Domains: Land, Air, Sea and Space domains were shaped by the elements of combat power within those domains and by the necessity to thus preserve freedom of action within them. The EMS is no different – it is full of combat elements and other users, but as of yet does not have the regulatory measures applied. • Common Objectives across Domains: • Policy - Build global regimes – work with international communities – treaties, agreements and policies • Doctrine - Engage pivotal actors –state and non-state • Organization - Reshape American hard power to defend the contested commons (the EMS) and preserve freedom of action

  12. Segueing to the US DoD Budget • Electronic warfare and electro-optics countermeasures are shaping up to be among the few real growth areas of the Pentagon's fiscal 2013 budget. • The 2013 DOD budget $3.44 billion in electronic warfare and electro-optical countermeasures procurement, and $1.52 billion in research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E). The procurement number is up 3.4 percent from current-year levels of $3.32 billion, and is down 21.1 percent from 2011 levels of $4.36 billion. The RDT&E number is 8.9 percent more than current-year levels of $1.27 billion, and 15.3 percent higher than 2011 levels of $1.31 billion.

  13. Following the Money • $1.06 billion to buy 12 U.S. Navy Boeing EA-18G Growler electronic warfare jets. • $950.5 million contribution to support the Attack the Network project of the Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) • $400 million contribution to the JIEDDO's Defeat the Device program • $100.2 million to buy 43 AN/TPQ-48/49 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR) systems • $281.1 million U.S. Air Force system development and demonstration initiative to develop a modern electronic warfare defensive management system for the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber to replace the existing Lockheed Martin AN/APR-50 electronic support measures (ESM) system. • 168.6 million procurement plan next year to buy the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) system. LAIRCM is designed to defend large aircraft such as the C-17 cargo jet from shoulder-launched heat-seeking missiles. • $187 million U.S. Navy plan to develop the Next-Generation Jammer (NGJ), which will replace the AN/ALQ-199 as the Navy's primary airborne electronic warfare system. • The Navy $71.3 million into the Joint Counter Radio Controlled IED Electronic Warfare (JCREW) research and development program, as well as $92.3 million for the AN/SLQ-32 shipboard electronic warfare system procurement. • $1B in Army Integrated Electronic Warfare System.

  14. The Way Ahed • It’s all about the Spectrum • Nobody is in charge of it • We have met the enemy on the Spectrum, and it is us • And it is also a lot of other guys • Bad guys, good guys, neutral guys and a lot of ones we created through harmonics and other magical stuff • Most of our senior warfighters don’t understand this and our combat developers respond to them However… • The emerging budget may be our friend…

  15. The Challenge To work collaboratively, with little governance nor resource sponsorship, in an environment defined differently by every “player”; to resolve to create open-architecture systems without parochialism in order to allow for a “build it and they will come” acceptance; to create leadership from within; to not exclude, but to include, the gamut of users of the EMS and to create an multi-community capability with proven relevance to the warfighter! Hell, there are no rules here--we're trying to accomplish something!- Thomas A. Edison
