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. This PE received a Congressional Add in FY 2022 for Various Effects Launcher Capability ($16.000 million). FY 2022 includes $3.559 million in Overseas Operations Costs (OOC) execution.
