MQ-1 Sky Warrior - Army UAV (MIP)

Abstract

The production Extended Range Multi-Purpose (ERMP) Unmanned Aircraft system (UAS) will consist of 12 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), each equipped with multi-mission payloads and a Standard Equipment Package (SEP). The threshold payload is an EO/IR/LD sensor. The SEP includes a communications relay package, Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) equipment and Air Traffic Control radios. Associated Ground Support Equipment (GSE) will have One System Ground Control Stations (OSGCS-V2 & V3), Tactical Common Data Links (TCDL) Ground Data Terminals (GDT), Portable GCS, (PGCS), Portable GDT?s (PGDT), and a ground Satellite Communication (SATCOM) system. Each system will also have the Automatic Take off and Landing System (ATLS), Tactical Automatic Landing System-Tracking Subsystems (TALS-TS). Each UA will have the connectivity, plus space, weight and power to support SATCOM and payloads; each UA will be weaponized. RDT&E funds continue to resource the Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase for ERMP, as well as continuing improvements after EMD. The FY12 funding will provide for continued system development and integration, developmental test, Limited User Testing (LUT), and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). Prior to FY11, ERMP RDT&E funding was in PE 0305204A, Project D09.
