(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, Reconnaissance, & Targeting (ISR&T) and precision strike asset. The Department continues to assess the UCLASS program and will conduct a Strategic Portfolio Review (SPR) of Department of Defense airborne ISR&T systems and the future composition of the carrier air wing. The current funding profile reflects a rephase to the program while the SPR is conducted. The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) endorsed the UCLASS ICD in April 2011 and formally approved it on 9 Jun 11 via Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (JROCM) 087-11. In support of affordability and adaptability directives, JROCMs 086-12 and 196-12 redefined the scope of JROCM 087-11 and affirmed the urgency for a platform that supports missions ranging from permissive counter-terrorism operations, to missions in low-end contested environments, to providing enabling capabilities for high-end denied operations, as well as supporting organic Naval missions. JROCM 009-14 was issued on 4 Feb 14, directing UCLASS Early Operational Capability delivery within four to five years from Air Segment contract award. The Service approved a draft Capability Development Document on 5 Apr 13.
