(U)RQ-21A
Abstract
The RQ-21A program provides persistent maritime and land-based tactical Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition (RSTA) data collection and dissemination capability to the war fighter. For the United States Marine Corps (USMC), RQ-21A provides the Marine Expeditionary Force and subordinate commands (divisions and regiments) with a dedicated, organic Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capability delivering intelligence products directly to the tactical commander in real time. For the United States Navy (USN) RQ-21A provides persistent RSTA support for tactical maneuver decisions and unit-level force defense/force protection for Navy Ships, Marine Corps land forces, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command forces, and Navy Special Warfare Units. This is a combined development program between Navy and Marine Corps. This submission is the Marine Corps portion of the program and has been coordinated with the Navy budget submission under PE 0305234N RQ-21A BLACKJACK.
