AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon
Company (NYSE: RTN) showcased Cyber and Electromagnetic Battle
Management, a new battle management tool, at Cyber Quest, a U.S.
Army event that informs cybersecurity requirements and priorities.
CEMBM integrates cyber and electromagnetic spectrum awareness
capabilities into the Electronic Warfare Program Management Tool,
an Army program of record since 2014.
"CEMBM was one tool we experimented with, and each tool showed
us a different level of the 'art of the possible' regarding the
convergence of EW and cyber," said Major
Steve Roberts, Cyber Branch chief, Cyber Battle Lab, Cyber
Center of Excellence.
Raytheon's EWPMT focuses on the ability to see and understand
events in the electromagnetic spectrum. CEMBM provides a shared
situational understanding of electronic warfare, EMS and cyber, and
management and control of organic assets.
Using CEMBM, EW officers can determine the best path forward
without being jammed or discovered; jam the enemy's communication
ability; and if there are cyber emitters, disrupt the ability to
use them.
"The challenge lies in operating in the EMS while managing it in
a way that minimizes negative impacts to other players and parts of
the mission," said Frank Pietryka,
director, Airborne Information Operations at Raytheon Space and
Airborne Systems. "With CEMBM, teams now have a common operational
picture where they can move back and forth, at will, between cyber,
EMS and physical terrains. It is a true game changer."
This latest cyber and EW tool provides significant operational
and life-cycle cost benefits, including increased mission
effectiveness, reduced planning cycles, coordination of effects,
collaboration with other elements of mission command, EW and cyber
effectiveness analysis and reduced training costs.
