RQ-11 UAV

Abstract

Intelligence Command and Control (C2) supports the employment of reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition resources and the timely planning and processing of all-source intelligence. It ensures that all-source tactical intelligence is tailored to meet specific mission requirements. The system below collects and converts raw intelligence data on the battlefield into processed information and deliver the processed products to the Intelligence Analysis Systems (IAS) for analysis and dissemination. GROUP 1 (formerly known as TIER I UAS) - The Program Office is pursuing a rapid acquisition approach to quickly field new technology and capabilities to the warfighter. The strategy is to use evolutionary acquisition with two incremental developments to meet the final desired Small Unit Remote Scouting System (SURSS) requirements (Joint USMC/USA/SOCOM capabiities). The SURSS Block 0, Dragon Eye, was the first increment and was fielded to deployed units. Dragon Eyes are being removed and replaced with the Raven B. For the Block 1 increment the USMC adopted the USSOCOM Rucksack Portable UAV (RPUAV) ORD, which meets the USMC''s requirement and began migrating to the joint materiel solution, the Raven B. Raven B''s are transitioning from an 8 Channel to a Digital Data Link (DDL) version.
