## What project A95 buys

Current military operations are conducted in a rapidly changing threat environment, where Infra-Red (IR) man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) seekers, radar guided surface-to-air-missiles (SAM), laser guided weapons (LGW), Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS), and targeting sensors are proliferating and technically evolving. Integrated solutions are required to counter increasingly sophisticated Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) Peer and Near Peer threats. The ARAT EW enterprise supports the tactical Commander by providing timely rapid reprogramming of mission software and information dissemination for the Army. ARAT supports integrated reprogramming of target acquisition, target engagement, platform survivability systems, and Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE). The ARAT rapid-reprogramming EW enterprise supports tactical requirements and readiness for deployed aircraft and ground-based terrestrial systems. ARAT identifies and analyzes threat signature changes which affect EW systems; determines the impact of observed signature changes; develops new mission software solutions to adapt the system to the threat changes; disseminates the mission software; and provides methods to upload the new mission software into the affected EW systems. Each element within the ARAT infrastructure plays a specific role within the program's rapid reprogramming process, providing the Soldier with the capability to install mission and target identification software at the lowest possible level, thus maximizing flexibility for tactical Commanders. ARAT participates in the operational and developmental test design of Army EW systems and supports Joint Service Reprogramming Exercises in all theaters. ARAT Research and Development enables continuous development of: 1) automated threat analysis tools to rapidly detect threat changes within the intelligence system, 2) tools to minimize the time to develop Mission Software and Products (MSP), 3) tools and technology to minimize the time required to test and validate MSPs, 4) improved communications conduits to rapidly transmit mission software to upload into supported EW systems to forward deployed combat forces. These efforts allow for rapid threat analysis, threat modeling and simulation, mission software development and testing, distribution and uploading of mission software directly to the supported Soldier on the edge.

**R-3 lines of work:** Management Services; Product Development; Support; Test and Evaluation.
