This document presents the "EMSO CON: Requirements Document Taxonomy" which outlines a functional-based taxonomy for Electronic Warfare (EW) and other related systems. It is currently a DRAFT and is intended to be updated after significant milestones.

The taxonomy is structured into four main functional areas: Attack, Protect, Support, and Common Services. Under each of these, various appendices are listed, detailing specific capabilities or systems.

Key areas and examples include:

• Attack: NAVWAR EA Appendices, Airborne EA Appendices, Ground EA Appendices.
• Protect: Spectrum Management Appendices (e.g., Dynamic Spectrum Access, Spectrum Monitoring), Cross Domain Protection Appendices (e.g., MILDEC, Technical Effects).
• Support: Airborne Sensing Appendices, Ground Sensing Appendices, NAVWAR Sensing Appendices.
• Common Services: EMS Arsenal & Reprogramming Appendices (e.g., EW Arsenal, TDK), EMSO Planning & Decision Support Appendices (e.g., Heat Maps, AI/ML, M & S).

Specific sub-items are listed under many of these appendices, such as different types of UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems), mounted/dismounted capabilities, and specific technologies like HPM (High-Power Microwave) and Antiradiation Seekers.

This document provides a high-level organizational structure for requirements related to EMSO (Electronic Warfare and Spectrum Operations) capabilities. Bidders involved in opportunities related to EW, spectrum management, sensing, or related electronic systems may find this taxonomy useful for understanding how different capabilities are categorized and potentially how requirements might be structured in future solicitations.

This document, "Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Characteristics of Need Base Content," outlines the Army's requirements and objectives for modernizing Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO). It details the current situation, the problem of fragmented EMSO capabilities, and the overarching objective of achieving EMSO dominance.

This document is highly relevant to potential bidders as it defines the strategic context and desired characteristics for future EMSO capabilities. It highlights key areas such as:

• Attack: Affecting adversary spectrum-dependent systems.
• Support: Comprehensive sensing and identification of emitters.
• Protect: Hardening friendly systems and employing countermeasures.
• Common Services: Integration within open architecture frameworks and the Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) architecture.

It also specifies key characteristics for these systems, including being Resilient, Adaptable, Modular (adhering to MOSA and SOSA standards), Scalable, Empowered (incorporating AI/ML), Rapidly Deployable, Secure, and Interoperable. This information is crucial for vendors developing or proposing solutions in the EMSO domain, providing insight into the Army's vision and technical expectations.

This document, "Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO) Characteristics of Need," outlines the Army's requirements and desired characteristics for modern EMSO capabilities. It details the current situation, the problems the Army faces in EMSO, and the objectives for modernization. The document emphasizes the need for flexible, adaptable, and integrated EMSO systems to achieve decision advantage in multi-domain operations.

This document is crucial for potential bidders as it defines the future needs and desired attributes of EMSO systems. Key characteristics sought include:

• Attack: Ability to affect adversary spectrum-dependent systems across various platforms.
• Support: Comprehensive sensing capabilities for situational awareness and targeting.
• Protect: Measures to safeguard friendly forces and ensure authorized spectrum use.
• Common Services: Integration within open architecture frameworks for interoperability and rapid onboarding of new technologies.
• Key Characteristics: Systems must be resilient, adaptable (software-defined), modular (MOSA/SOSA compliant), scalable, empowered by AI/ML, rapidly deployable, secure, and interoperable with NGC2.

Bidders developing or offering EMSO solutions should align their capabilities with these stated characteristics and requirements to meet the Army's evolving needs.

This document presents the "EMSO CoN: Requirements Document Taxonomy" which outlines a functional-based taxonomy for Electronic Warfare (EW) and other related systems. It is currently a DRAFT and indicates that updates will occur after significant milestones.

This taxonomy provides a structured overview of how requirements documents are organized within the EMSO (Electronic Warfare Systems Organization) framework. It categorizes requirements under major functional areas such as Attack, Protect, Support, and Common Services, with further breakdowns into specific appendices like NAVWAR EA Appendices, Airborne EA Appendices, Spectrum Management Appendices, and others. Bidders can use this to understand the organizational structure of requirements and identify potential areas of focus for their offerings within the broader EMSO context.
