Unmanned ISR

Abstract

NOTE: Unmanned Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) includes the consolidation of Special Applications for Contingencies (previously Program Element (PE) 0304210BB); MQ-1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), (previously PE 0305219BB); MQ-8, (previously PE 0305231BB); RQ-11, UAV (previously PE 1105232BB); and RQ-7 UAV, (previously PE 1105233BB). This program element is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). Unmanned ISR develops and deploys special capabilities to perform Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) for deployed Special Operations Forces (SOF) using non-traditional means. USSOCOM has been designated as the DOD lead for planning, synchronizing, and as directed, executing global operations against terrorist networks and targets. USSOCOM requires the capability to find, fix, and finish time-sensitive high-value fixed and fleeting targets at the unit and team level without placing personnel and units in harm’s way. 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 PE addresses the primary areas of ISR and Targeting capabilities for SOF.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2019
• Source ID: 1160434BB_7_0400_PB_2019
• Change Summary Explanation: Funding: FY 2017: Net decrease of -$3.007 million due to the reprogramming increase of $0.200 million for development and combat evaluation of selected sensor delivery platforms and mounted or deliverable ISR capabilities for global contingencies including short-notice requirements and decrease of $3.207 million reprogrammed for higher command priorities. FY 2018: None. FY 2019: Net decrease of $0.790 million is an increase that continues evaluation of unique sensor technologies, persistent stare, and quick reaction systems ($3.219 million); a decrease due to a Departmental economic assumption adjustment (-$0.263 million); and the FY2019 funding request was reduced by -$3.746 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. FY 2019 OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS. Increase of $11.700 million is for advanced payload development; development and integration of Beyond Line of Sight wiring harnesses required to operate SOF-unique sensors, VORTEX encrypted data link capability, and Persistent Close Air Support collaborative engagement management capabilities on the SOF Gray Eagle Extended Range UAS. Schedule: None. Technical: None.
