The OTA agreement will run through October 2023 in support of a manufacturing proof of concept for the Army’s Terrestrial Layer System – Brigade Combat Team program, the service said Wednesday.
Ken Strayer, project manager for electronic warfare and cyber at the Army, said TLS-BCT is an integrated suite of EW, cyberspace and signals intelligence capabilities designed to provide situational awareness to warfighters through threat detection and identification and enemy signals disruption.
PM EW&C has performed soldier touchpoints to support technical assessments of the technology and intends to employ additional OTAs to facilitate the integration of TLS-BCT with the military branch’s armored multipurpose vehicles.
In September 2021, Lockheed won an OTA agreement to work on the second phase of the Army’s TLS-BCT program.
