RQ-11 UAV

Abstract

A new program element was established beginning in FY 2012 for RQ-11 class of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS). This program element identifies, investigates, develops, integrates, and tests Special Operations Forces (SOF) payload requirements and spiral development efforts for SUAS capabilities for standalone employment from world-wide ground locations, from manned/unmanned aircraft, or from maritime craft. USSOCOM is designated as the DoD lead for planning, synchronizing, and as directed, executing Overseas Contingency Operations against terrorist networks. USSOCOM requires the capability to find, fix, finish, exploit, and analyze time-sensitive high-value-targets. These targets can often only be identified with patient collection of information and require rapid, decisive action during the short periods in which they present themselves.
