Unmanned ISR

Abstract

NOTE: Unmanned Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) includes the consolidation of Special Applications for Contingencies (SAFC) (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 rapidly develops and deploys special capabilities to perform ISR for deployed Special Operations Forces (SOF) using non-traditional means. USSOCOM has been designated as the Department of Defense lead for planning, synchronizing, and as directed, executing global operations against terrorist networks and targets. United States Special Operations Command (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. This R-1 program element includes $5.000 million for both FY 2019 and FY 2020 enduring Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding. FY 2021 funding includes OCO for Enduring Requirements ($5.000 million). These technologies will be pursued via rapid prototyping efforts when appropriate.

• Change Summary Explanation: Funding: FY 2019: None. FY 2020: None. FY 2021: Net decrease of $15.000 million is due to funding transfer from base (-$5.000 million) to OCO ($5.000 million) for Enduring Requirements. For the Defense Wide Review (DWR), USSOCOM performed a comprehensive analysis of future capabilities and is reducing the SAFC projects to better align with the Department's priorities as outlined in the National Defense Strategy (-$15.000 million). -$15.000 million - SAFC - reduces development, integration, evaluation, and miniaturization capability into SOF Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (SUAS). Schedule: None. Technical: None.
