Aircraft Modifications/Product Improvement Programs
Abstract
The MQ-1C Gray Eagle provides the Army with an extended range, multi-purpose (ERMP) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS); capable of executing reconnaissance, security, attack, and intelligence collection missions in the range of military operations (ROMO). Sensors/payloads include an Electro-Optical/Infrared/Laser Designator (EO/IR/LD), Synthetic Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator (SAR/MTI), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and HELLFIRE missiles; providing a near all-weather mission capability. MQ-1C Gray Eagle is a dedicated, assured, multi-mission UAS fielded to all Army Divisions, Intelligence and Security Command and Army Special Operations Command in support of the commander's warfighting priorities within multi-domain battle operations. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Aircraft Modification/Product Improvement funding of $11.7 million will both greatly enhance propulsion reliability and mitigate obsolescence. The current MQ-1C Gray Eagle engines can no longer be procured. Additionally, this propulsion reliability effort will reduce MQ-1C Gray Eagle Return to Base events and decrease the likelihood of engine related aircraft mishaps. This modernization effort will increase operational readiness and posture Gray Eagle to support multi-domain.
