Tactical Unmanned Aer Vehicles

Abstract

This program element provides funding for development and capability requirements for Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Project is a Joint Military Intelligence Program. The Tactical Control System (TCS), a component of the MQ-8 System, provides software for the joint tactical MQ-8 Fire Scout System. TCS integrated into the MQ-8 Mission Control System provides the warfighters with the capability for day/night aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, target acquisition, voice, data and command and control communications/relay, and mine detection and localization. Additionally, TCS provides a multi-level, scalable, and flexible operator control of the air vehicles and payloads as well as direct receipt and dissemination of unmanned aerial vehicle sensor data.
