SOFWERX – Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS) Replication Collaboration Event

SOFWERX, in collaboration with USSOCOM, U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), will host a series of events beginning 8 June 2023 to replicate IADS for USSOCOM training purposes.

Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) is the training focus of the Army. The Combat Training Centers (CTC) offer large scale complex training on real world problems in a controlled environment. Enemy IADS pose a large threat in LSCO by denying friendly air superiority and friendly Freedom of Maneuver (FOM). IADS can be targeted in multiple ways to achieve desired effects. The current problem is the CTC visually modified (VISMOD) IADS, used for training, offer only visual targeting exploits. In order to replicate a realistic challenge in LSCO, a complex IADS VISMOD with digital sigatures needs to be created to increase training value.

The objective of this effort is to create an electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) capability that can be exploited in various ways to increase training value.

Interested parties should RSVP NLT 17 May 2023 11:59 PM ET.
