MQ-9 UAV/S851

Abstract

This program element identifies, develops, integrates, and tests Special Operations Forces (SOF) - unique mission kits on the MQ-9 Unmanned Aircraft System as a component of the Medium Altitude Long Endurance Tactical (MALET) Program. 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. This program element addresses the primary areas of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition.
