(U)Advanced Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System

Abstract

This is an FY18 new start for project units 3135 and 3427. This program element provides for development and capability requirements for Advanced Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Projects are Joint Military Intelligence Programs. Project 3135 - This project provides for the early trade studies, analysis, experimentation, and concept refinement for the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Expeditionary (MUX) with Vertical/Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (V/STOVL) capability. The MUX efforts will inform a future program of record. Project 3427 - This project provides for experimentation and support of the CQ-24A Cargo UAS (commonly referred to as KMAX). CQ-24A will be used to specifically inform the unmanned cargo resupply requirements of future programs of record, to include MUX. Experimentation includes payloads/sensor integration, control station integration, Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) development. These experimentation efforts inform program capability documents and support other military exercises. Cost estimate for Cost to Complete and Total Cost for both project units are being developed and will be promulgated in a future budget request.
