Advanced Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System
Abstract
Project 3135 - The Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Expeditionary (MUX) Family of Systems (FoS) project provides funding to address capability gaps identified in the October 2016 MUX Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and associated Requirements Clarification document. This PE supports experimentation and prototyping of advanced payloads, system architectures, mission control capabilities, ground control stations, and networking and communications infrastructure. In addition, MUX FoS will also develop CONOPS to integrate the MUX FoS into joint programs and operating concepts to mitigate technical risk through model-based systems engineering, analysis, simulation, test and evaluation, and partnership with industry. The MUX FoS provides Advanced Tactical UAS in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), Littoral Operations in Contested Environments (LOCE), and Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) to provide advanced, unmanned, multi-mission capability for the MAGTF and Marine Littoral Regiment. The first MUX FoS element is MUX Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MUX MALE), a land-based Group 5 UAS scheduled to begin operating in PACOM in FY23. RDT&E efforts for MUX-MALE are funded in PE 0603128N.

- Change Summary Explanation
- Congressional Add Details: Project 9999 - Funding has been enacted in FY21 for the support of Mobile Unmanned/Manned Distributed Lethality Airborne Network (MUDLAN), KMAX, and Fused Integrated Naval Network (FINN) The FY2022 funding request was reduced by $0.349 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances; $10.510 million due to the transition of funding to support requirements within MALE program, which is a capability within the MUX FoS; and $0.058 million for miscellaneous rate adjustments. Schedule: Project 3135 - Schedule for the MUX FoS PE 0304240M is updated to reflect the transition of requirements for the MUX MALE element of the MUX FoS to PE 0603128N. This maintains efforts to continue developing overall MUX FoS future capabilities to meet all segments of the MUX requirement and focuses specific RDT&E effort required to address the immediate need for the MALE subset of the overall MUX requirement.
