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 Tier 1 capability gaps identified in the October 2016 MUX Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and April 2020 MUX Requirements Clarification document. This PE supports experimentation and prototyping of advanced payloads, system architectures, mission control capabilities, ground control stations, networking and communications infrastructure, and new air vehicles. 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 (MLR). The first MUX FoS element is MUX Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MUX MALE), a land-based Group 5 UAS scheduled to begin operating in INDOPACOM in FY23. RDT&E efforts for MUX-MALE are funded in PE 0603128N.
