RQ-7 UAV

Abstract

This program element identifies, develops, integrates, and tests Special Operations Forces (SOF) - Unique Mission Kits for Groups 1 – 3 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). These mission kits enable SOF to meet continually evolving mission requirements. As the supported combatant command, USSOCOM has been designated as the DoD lead for planning, synchronizing, and as directed, executing Overseas Contingency Operations. USSOCOM requires the capability to find, fix, and finish 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. This program element addresses the primary areas of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition.
