Multi-Domain Sensing System (MDSS) Adv Dev
Abstract
Project DD6 was a realignment of funds from BY9 and does not represent a new start. All Fiscal Year (FY) 25-28 funding will be justified in subsequent budgets to support the HADES POR on Project DD6. Project BY9 will remain to support future development and modernization of platform agnostic, MDSS sensor capabilities IAW future Army decisions. PE 0604036A / Project BY9 was established in FY22 to support initiation of the Army's Multi-Domain Sensing System (MDSS), a layered approach of Aerial-Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (A-ISR) systems which allows for the best ability to achieve Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capable deep sensing. The MDSS family of systems, including HADES, HELIOS, HAP-DS, ARGOS, and HERMES , is comprised of a variety of platform/sensor combinations and MDO-capable, platform agnostic, scalable sensor programs that will provide for technical insertion into Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), medium altitude manned systems, and unmanned stratospheric A-ISR systems. These capabilities are enabled by emerging Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) processing and automated target recognition, autonomous sensor cross-cueing, sensor data correlation and resilient Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) compliant communications which shorten the sensor to shooter kill chain. PE 0604036A / Project DD6 is the Army's first Program of Record (POR) in the MDSS family of systems. The High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) provides advanced aerial intelligence sensing capabilities for Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) against peer and near-peer adversaries, addressing Army deep sensing needs in all phases of operations and throughout the depth of the future battlefield. Highly mobile, long endurance converged deep sensing through the collection of Communications Intelligence (COMINT), Electronics Intelligence (ELINT), and Synthetic Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator (SAR/MTI) data. Subsequent increment upgrades can host Electronic Warfare (EW), Radio Frequency (RF)-enabled Cyber, and Air Launched Effects (ALE). Platform performance and a modular system open architecture (MOSA) increases flexibility in meeting emerging threats along with global deployment within hours vs. days/weeks. Fiscal Year 2024 base dollars in the amount of $191.394 million, justified on R-2A for Project DD6 of PE 0604036A, supports the initiation of system level prototyping of the HADES system. Funds support the acquisition of the HADES prototype aircraft and begin non-recurring engineering and design of both the aircraft and the payload for future integration and testing of the system.
