(U)RQ-21A
Abstract
TIER II - This is a combined Navy (PE 0305204N-TCS) and Marine Corps (PE 0305239M) budget submission. The Tier II/UAS will provide persistent, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) support for tactical level maneuver decisions and unit level force defense/force protection for Navy ships and Marine Corps land forces. This system will fill the ISR capability shortfalls identified by the Navy Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS) and Marine Corps Tier II UAS efforts. Consisting of five air vehicles, two ground control stations, multiple payloads, and associated launch, recovery and support equipment, this system will support the Navy missions including building the Recognized Maritime Picture, Maritime Security Operations, Maritime Interdiction Operations, and support of Navy units operating from sea/shore and the Marine Corps close range (<50 nautical miles (nm)) UAS enabling enhanced decision-making and improved integration with ground schemes of maneuver. This submission is the Marine Corps portion of the program and has been coordinated with the Navy budget submission PE 0305204N.
