Electronic Warefare Integrated Reprogram RDT&E

The Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) program element hosts the Department of War (DoW's) first System of System Technology Integration Tool Chain for Heterogeneous Electronic Systems (STITCHES) project. STITCHES is a fully government developed, owned, maintained, and open-source Modular Open Systems Architecture (MOSA) toolchain and multi-classification information system that creates new capabilities by integrating incompatible DoW fielded systems and architectures together without the need to modify system source code. STITCHES' separable and community-based databases allow disparate teams across the DoW to utilize STITCHES in separate security levels without co-mingling data. The STITCHES project utilizes the STITCHES Warfighter Application Team (SWAT) at Cyber and Networks (C&N) PEO, Special Programs Divisions, Kill Chain Branch (AFLCMC/HNJJ) as an integration team employing, maintaining, and instructing other teams in the DoW how to use the STITCHES integration platform. AFLCMC/HNJJ will utilize the STITCHES interoperability software on systems both within and external to AFLCMC/HNJJ and deploy and maintain the capabilities created to the requesting organizations. The Program Management Office (PMO) interfaces and integrates with other DoW systems and their authorities to support DAF missions and lead MAJCOM directed activities. The PMO is responsible for testing, maintaining, and deploying STITCHES generated interoperability into DoW systems supported by AFLCMC/HNJJ, working with existing DoW test and certification organizations such as, but not limited to, the 46th Test Squadron, 613th Air Operations Center, and the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity, and teaming with organizations outside of AFLCMC/HNJJ when adapting and creating novel system of systems using capabilities from these organizations. The PMO will deliver adaptive and cutting-edge electromagnetic spectrum capabilities that provide the warfighter a tactical and strategic competitive advantage and freedom to attack, maneuver, and defend. The PMO shall leverage the prime contractors to provide mission support as directed, including establishing a software development team composed of a government tiger team, the STITCHES toolchain developer, a secure cloud infrastructure and repository developer, and mission partners.
