Aerial Common Sensor - SDD
Abstract
The Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) is the Army's next generation C-12 based, direct support, manned airborne intelligence collection, processing, and targeting support system. EMARSS provides a persistent capability to detect, locate, classify/identify, and track surface targets with a high degree of timeliness and accuracy. EMARSS aircraft will be assigned to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command's (INSCOM) Aerial Exploitation Battalions (AEB). EMARSS is an improvement over the existing Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System Quick Reaction Capability (MARSS QRC) in that it hosts an on board DCGS-A capability, improved satellite communications, and improved aircraft performance. EMARSS will consist of a commercial derivative aircraft equipped with an Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Full Motion Video (FMV) sensor, a Communications Intelligence (COMINT) collection system, an aerial precision geolocation (APG) system, tactical line-of-site (LOS) and beyond line-of-site (BLOS) communications suites, two Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A) enabled operator workstations and a self-protection suite. Built to allow future capabilities to be integrated on platform with the addition of the third carry-on workstation. EMARSS will operate as a single platform in direct support of tactical missions. EMARSS, working with and incorporating elements of the DCGS-A, will provide efficient response to Combat Forces Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) tasking with centralized Processing, Exploitation & Dissemination (PED) of ISR products while simultaneously transmitting critical FMV and other intelligence products to engaged tactical forces. FY13 Base funding in the amount of $47.426 million funds continues EMD activities, test activities to support a Forward Operational Assessment (FOA) which will be conducted in theater against current threats and inform a future production decision. This will position the Army to operationally deploy the assets. FY13 OCO - No budget request
