RQ-11 UAV
Abstract
The Family of Small Unmanned Aircraft System (FoSUAS) provides battalion and below ground maneuver elements with critical situational awareness and enhanced force protection. The system provides the small unit commander an organic and responsive reconnaissance and targeting capability with real-time Full Motion Video and sensor data. Other compatible receivers, such as the One System Remote Video Terminal and appropriately equipped manned platforms may also receive the FoSUAS products. A FoSUAS includes three hand-launched aircraft that do not require an improved launch/recovery location. In addition to the aircraft, the system contains ground control equipment, which includes an interoperable handheld ground control station (H-GCS) which incorporates the Tactical Open Government Owned Architecture (TOGA). The equipment is fully transportable in or on rucksack type packs that are organic to the unit. FoSUAS will utilize existing RQ-11 in a system of systems fielding concept, with Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) and Long Range Reconnaissance and Surveillance (LRRS) options under development. Justification: Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDTE) Base funding of $3.218 million for Program Management Engineering support and to meet Capabilities Production Document (CPD) Increment II Block II related requirements. Specifically, to continue the research and development required to identify and baseline the SRR prototype solution and the LRRS prototype solution for the FoSUAS effort.
