To fully enable spectrum superiority, naval forces (including the Marine Corps and Navy) must be
able to control the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) by exploiting, deceiving, or denying enemy
use of the spectrum while ensuring persistent naval ISR capabilities. The advance of adversary
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and EW capabilities across the full EMS (DC
to daylight), and the proliferation of inexpensive, efficient processors, and transceivers has
eroded our advantages, created a contested and congested operational environment, and
degraded our naval ISR capabilities. This EW and Surveillance D&I BAA Call seeks innovative
solutions to overcome these technical challenges.
