PEO IEW&S

What PEO IEW&S does

PEO IEW&S, operating under the formal designation Capability Program Executive for Intelligence and Spectrum Warfare (CPE ISW), is a U.S. Army Program Executive Office under the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology (ASA ALT) and the U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center. Headquartered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with additional offices at Fort Belvoir, Redstone Arsenal, and Los Angeles Air Force Base, the organization leads an integrated team of approximately 113 Soldiers, DoD Civilians, and Contractors in designing, delivering, and sustaining advanced technologies across military intelligence, spectrum warfare, cyber operations, electronic warfare, positioning/navigation/timing, and sensor domains. The organization traces its lineage to 1975 and was reorganized under the "CPE ISW" branding in 2025 as part of the U.S. Army 250 anniversary initiative.

CPE ISW's portfolio is organized through seven project management offices plus an integration directorate: PM Aircraft Survivability Equipment (ASE), PM Cyber & Space (C&S), PM Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO), PM Electromagnetic Warfare & Collection (EW&C), PM Intel Systems & Analytics (IS&A), PM Positioning Navigation & Timing (PNT), PD Sensors Aerial Intelligence (SAI), PdM Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP), PM Terrestrial Sensors (TS), and the CPE Integration Directorate. Each PM oversees end-to-end lifecycle management of distinct capability families, with the Integration Directorate providing cross-program interoperability. Core technology covers advanced military intelligence, spectrum warfare, cyber operations, electronic warfare, PNT, and sensor systems. Leadership consists of Chris P. Manning as Capability Program Executive and Laurence Mixon as Acting Deputy CPE.

As a federal government entity, CPE ISW is funded through annual Congressional defense appropriations rather than commercial sales. The organization does not sell products in the commercial sense; systems are procured through standard DOD acquisition channels and delivered to U.S. Army end-users, with allied access via the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. Marketing is conducted through the public website (cpeisw.army.mil), LinkedIn, Facebook, and a dedicated industry engagement page for defense contractors. Pricing and contract values are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR): Navy command responsible for acquiring and supporting naval aviation and EW/surveillance systems. Comparable as a service-level acquisition organization with substantial overlap in airborne EW, ISR payloads, and survivability equipment programs.
• PEO Command, Control, Communications-Tactical: U.S. Army PEO for tactical command, control, and communications systems. Closely overlaps with PEO IEW&S on tactical networking, PNT, and cyber integration programs, making it the most domain-adjacent peer within ASA ALT.
• PEO Missiles & Space: U.S. Army PEO managing missile and space-related acquisition programs. Sister PEO within ASA ALT with overlapping mandate in space and missiles that intersects with PEO IEW&S's PM Cyber & Space and spectrum warfare portfolios.
• Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC): U.S. Air Force center executing acquisition, sustainment, and modernization across multiple program portfolios. Comparable organizational model and budget authority, with significant overlap in EW, cyber, and PNT programs delivered for the joint force.
• PEO Ground Combat Systems: U.S. Army PEO responsible for ground combat vehicle and weapons system acquisition. Sister PEO with similar full-lifecycle acquisition responsibility, comparable in headcount scale and Congressional funding dependency.
• PEO Aviation: U.S. Army PEO responsible for acquiring and supporting Army aviation systems. Directly comparable in size, scope, and funding model, and has overlap with PEO IEW&S's Aircraft Survivability Equipment portfolio.
• PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support: U.S. Army PEO managing combat support and combat service support acquisitions. Same organizational structure and funding mechanism, providing a direct peer benchmark for headcount, program breadth, and lifecycle management.
• PEO Soldier: U.S. Army Program Executive Office responsible for acquiring Soldier-related equipment and clothing. Operates under the same federal acquisition framework, ASA ALT chain of command, and Program Executive Office structure as PEO IEW&S, making it a structurally identical peer for organizational comparison.

Emerging players

• Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA): DoD combat support agency operating and defending DoD networks with overlapping mandate in defensive cyber operations. Partial overlap with PEO IEW&S's PM Defensive Cyber Operations portfolio but with broader IT/network responsibilities across all services.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Army Futures Command: U.S. Army command responsible for modernization strategy and capability development across the force. Sets cross-cutting modernization priorities that PEO IEW&S executes, functioning as a higher-level adjacent organization rather than a peer competitor.
