MANTAWARE™ SPECTRUM MANAGER
Communicating in a Dynamic Electromagnetic Spectrum

Navies operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving maritime environment, where advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) systems are increasingly employed by both state and non-state actors. To address these challenges, there is a need for communications systems to be able to utilize data from EW systems. This requires the integration of EW and communications systems to mitigate the effects of interference and maintain reliable communications in a contested electromagnetic environment. 

BACKGROUND 
Currently, naval surface forces rely on their own sensors and embarked helicopters for EW and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. 

HIGH-LEVEL SOLUTION
Navies require solutions with tighter integration between communication systems and EW systems. A communication system with knowledge of the electromagnetic environment would then be able to correlate jammed or otherwise contended frequencies with communications circuits. The system could then respond (with varying levels of autonomy) to mitigate concerns and optimize communications reliability. 

There are key functions required of this new component: 

• EW integration: receive raw and/or processed spectral information from one or more EW systems 
• Communications Control and Management System (CCMS) integration: integration between the CCMS and the new component must be bi-directional 
• Visualization: information from both the EW and CCMS should be visualized to provide awareness to operators 
• Signal classification: electromagnetic signals should be classified/tagged to aid in decision-making 
• Circuit correlation: the system should correlate signals and circuits between the EW system and CCMS to determine any impact on communications reliability 
• Configurable automation: the system should support enacting configuration changes to the CCMS

MANTAWARE™ MESH 
Coordinating Naval Communications 

Communications systems among different naval vessels function separately, leading to ineffective and inefficient communication outcomes. These issues are becoming more pronounced with ongoing increases in the complexity of communications technology and doctrines.

BACKGROUND 
Currently, Communications Configuration and Management Systems (CCMS) across different naval vessels and platforms operate in silos with different software, protocols and technologies. As a result, communication coordination across platforms is a manual process, relying on direct operator interaction, usually verbally.

THE MANTAWARE SOLUTION 

• Mesh
  Integrated tool of the L3Harris MantaWARE unified platform 
• Pluggable
  Inter-platform networking will be achieved via a pluggable network interface allowing integration with a range of networks 
• Visualization
  Both primary (Mesh network) and secondary (payloads such as communications or spectrum) data will be vizualised in an integrated manner 
• Correlation & control
  Inter-platform circuits will be automatically analyzed for misalignment. Alternate circuits will then be calculated to determine a communications configuration optimally resilient to change 
• Fleet coordination
  MantaWARE Mesh allows data to be shared between different platforms in the fleet 
• Threat positioning
  Directional electromagnetic detections can be shared via MantaWARE Mesh, allowing automatic position fixing of electromagnetic threats 
• System feedback
  Electromagnetic position fixes can be shared back to the EW system or to the combat system. This capability transforms multiple platforms into a spatially diverse integrated electronic detection system
