## What the grant funds

The JAMS IPT is seeking wide-ranging Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE) technologies at Technical Readiness Level (TRL) 3 and higher, for accelerated development in relation to modern missile threat systems. Overview Global advancement and the pace of adversary missile threat-system development highlights an immediate need to improve U.S. airborne asset protection and survivability, against current and future threats. The JAMS IPT is a joint working group focused on defensive air survivability against modern air threats that are stressing ASE on current and future air platforms. The mission of JAMS is to maintain a warfighting advantage, by identifying, evaluating, and rapidly deploying innovative solutions for U.S. aircraft in emergent operational Areas of Responsibility (AORs), seizing upon opportunities that will benefit the services across the DoD. There is a strong desire within the ASE community to share costs and provide common solutions across platforms as much as possible. While most are familiar with red kill chains, there is a corollary for blue ASE protection. The JAMS IPT is broadly looking for technologies in the ASE protection chain, including: Threat Detection: Sensing and identifying a threat; Fix: Geo-location and threat avoidance; Signature: Tactics and procedures to reduce signatures but also equipment that can modify or alter an aircraft’s signature; Defeat: This includes traditional jammers, expendables, towed decoys but also new solutions launched from the aircraft or escort aircraft to degrade, seduce or confuse a threat; and Assess: The ability to evaluate the effects of avoidance, signature management or defeat. However, beyond these protection capabilities, are enabling tools required for developing, testing and fielding solutions, particularly in Modeling and Simulation (M&S), and Test and Evaluation (T&E) activities. This announcement seeks revolutionary ideas and technology demonstrators that offer potential material solutions, M&S solutions, and T&E solutions at a TRL 3 or higher with a robust plan to achieve TRL 6. Solutions with an open architecture will be favored. A classified secret addendum with examples of stressing adversarial technologies can be requested on SIPRNET at betsy.l.marschand1@navy.smil.mil.
