Battle Damage Assessment for Electronic Warfare Planning and Operation

In this program Vadum will develop a prototype Electronic Warfare (EW) Battle Damage Assessment (BDA) software module for estimating EA effectiveness against RF communication links or networks. The BDA module will be targeted to operate within the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool (EWPMT) system being developed by PM EW. The module will consist of an information fusion algorithm for combining data from Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS) intelligence sources, EW sensors collecting Over-The-Air (OTA) observables from threat emitters, and internal BDA simulations of enemy equipment. Vadum?s BDA module will augment the situational awareness (SA) presented to the Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO) and EW cell team members responsible for planning and management tasks using EWPMT. The BDA module will generate updates multiple times per minute allowing an EWO to: optimize attack resource allocation, provide EW mission status, and determine suggested updates to EW equipment programming or TTP modifications in post-mission analysis.
