Unmanned ISR

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). Unmanned Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) rapidly develops and deploys special capabilities to perform ISR for deployed Special Operations Forces (SOF) using non-traditional means. The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has been designated as the Department of Defense lead for planning, synchronizing, and as directed, executing global operations against terrorist networks and targets. The 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. These technologies will be pursued via rapid prototyping efforts when appropriate. Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 funding totals include $3.000 million appropriated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). FY 2022 funding totals include $18.006 million Base with $0.000 million Direct War and $5.000 million for Enduring Costs.
