Cognitive EW seeks to automate and otherwise speed-up aspects of EW, like the rapid development of new countermeasures, possibly in real-time.
The F-15 Program Office is interested in artificial intelligence and machine learning electronic warfare (EW) capabilities that can be fielded in the next two years, with incremental improvements, and integrated into EW systems currently in development for the F-15.
