Global aerospace company Lockheed Martin has been selected by the U.S. Army to address the second phase of the Terrestrial Layer System (TLS) – Echelons Above Brigade (TLS-EAB) program.
“The U.S. Army’s Family of Systems concept is a proven model for developing and delivering converged cyber and electronic warfare technologies into the hands of the warfighter quickly, cost efficiently, with lower risk, and at the speed of relevance,” Lockheed Martin Spectrum Convergence Vice President Deon Viergutz said. “Moving into this next phase, we are going to continue to embrace Soldier Touch Points to drive the design while leveraging a proven DevSecOps pipeline and an open architecture that will enable a highly interoperable, configurable 21st Century Security solution that can be easily tailored for specific mission requirements.”
The scope of work calls for Lockheed Martin to build a TLS-EAB system prototype in the coming months at their Syracuse, New York, facility, with critical support from their sites in Owego, New York and Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
TLS-EAB will provide critical long-range situational awareness via detection, identification, location, exploitation and disruption of adversary signals of interest.
Lockheed Martin indicated TLS-EAB is designed in accordance with the multi-platform TLS family of systems specifically developed to support cross-platform collaboration as a means of providing optimized and integrated Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Electronic Warfare (EW) and Cyberspace support operations to Joint All Domain Operational (JADO) enabled forces.
