The U. S. Air Force's electronic warfare integrated reprogramming enterprise examines intelligence on threats that emit in the electromagnetic spectrum and configures software and hardware to enable aircraft to react. The research team conducted case studies with the elements necessary for creating a near-real-time, autonomous, inflight software reprogramming capability and artificial intelligence-enabled cognitive electronic warfare capabilities.
