(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 through FY21. In support of Marine Corps Force Design 2030, Deputy Commandant, Combat, Development and Integration (CD&I) directed divestment of RQ-21A via letter dated February 22, 2021. 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.
