Collins Aerospace wins NATO contract for electronic warfare planning and battle software

The solution will deliver a Recognized Electromagnetic Picture by combining data from operations, intelligence systems and other sources. It will also provide an Electronic Order of Battle, detailing the location and function of electronic devices to improve understanding of both friendly and enemy capabilities.

“We’re equipping commanders with a critical tool to visualize electronic warfare threats and automate the use of jammers and sensors,” said Ryan Bunge, vice president and general manager for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence & Autonomy at Collins Aerospace. “This system will enhance joint operations’ effectiveness, interoperability, scalability, and resilience.”

EWPBM advances traditional battle management by incorporating situational awareness of the electromagnetic environment. The software creates an electromagnetic operating picture, manages electronic warfare tactics, processes data for action plans and monitors sensors and jammers.

Collins Aerospace will work closely with NATO to test, validate and integrate the system. According to the company, this collaboration will significantly boost NATO’s electromagnetic warfare capabilities and contribute to the collective defence and security of member nations.
