The topic is specific to an ongoing study that examines the integration of surveillance activities, electronic jamming, and cyberspace attacks in a single tactical vehicle for the Army.  The Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) is progressing rapidly as an integrated signals intelligence (SIGINT)/electronic warfare (EW)/cyberspace operations (CO) requirement.  The Demonstration, Experimentation, and Prototype (DE&P) informs Army requirement development across formations, materiel, and training by integrating and layering capabilities and systems.  Our future systems need to be approached from a layered perspective:  protection of the soldier at the tactical edge to sensing and attacking at the limits of operational level of warfare.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
This session explores and discusses an ongoing study that examines the integration of electronic warfare support, electronic jamming, and cyberspace attacks in a single tactical vehicle for the Army.  The program under development, the Terrestrial Layer System (TLS), is progressing rapidly as an integrated signals intelligence (SIGINT)/electronic warfare (EW)/cyberspace operations (CO) solution.  Within the Army, the study was named Demonstration, Experimentation, and Prototype (DE&P), and informs Army organizational, training, and materiel requirements by integrating and layering capabilities, functions, and systems.  Future cyberspace systems will be networked and  layered:  providing protection of the soldier at the tactical edge to sensing and attacking at the limits of operational level of warfare.
