(U)Unman Carrier Launch A/B Surv & Strk(UCLASS)Sys

Abstract

The Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS) system will enhance carrier capability and versatility for the Joint Forces Commander through integration of a persistent and mission flexible unmanned aircraft into the Carrier Air Wing. The UCLASS Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) highlights the need for a persistent, survivable carrier-based Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance and precision strike asset. The UCLASS ICD was approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) in April 2011. The JROC memorandum (JROCM 087-11 of 9 June 2011) states that the Navy should prioritize cost and effectiveness trades to include, but are not limited to, endurance, payload, speed, sensors, and survivability to maintain affordability.
