The U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office-Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors has demonstrated new capabilities at the joint Project Convergence Capstone 5, or PC-C5, experimentation event.
PEO IEW&S participated in Scenario A of PC-C5 and showcased several intelligence, electromagnetic warfare and surveillance products, the Army said Friday. The event allowed decision makers to evaluate, identify and refine requirements that advance future Army readiness.
Warfighting Capabilities to Advance Army Readiness
Among the technologies exhibited at PC-C5 is the Army Intelligence Data Platform, which organizes data for faster information processing and decision-making. PEO IEW&S also demonstrated the Common Sensor Payload, a technology that provides reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition and intelligence-gathering capabilities to the MQ-1C Gray Eagle uncrewed aircraft system. In addition, the office supported an experiment that used small balloons able to transmit data at high altitude to see the differences between platforms from multiple vendors.
The event highlighted key warfighting technologies, such as the Electronic Warfare Planning and Management Tool, which reportedly enables EW assets to operate, target and maneuver by synchronizing spectrum management operations across multiple domains. Meanwhile, the Transformation in Contact Mobile Node-Terrestrial system proved its ability to meet commanders’ priority information requirements while integrating with other sensors and systems. PC-C5 also showcased the Electronic Warfare Arsenal, a repository of information to enhance EW mission planning and execution capabilities.
Aside from the Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Space Force, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Marine Corps and military forces from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and France took part in PC-C5.
