SMALL (LEVEL 0) TACTICAL UAS (STUAL0)
Abstract
UAS Payloads was initially established in FY15 under Program Element 0305242M, Project 2298. Project 2298 was also used for Program Element 0305239M, RQ-21A Small Tactical UAS. In order to provide greater detail on payload development, each payload was assigned an individual project number starting in FY16. In FY15, the UAS Payloads program will continue development of a Signals Intelligence (SIGINT)/ Electronic Warfare Support (ES), and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)/Motion Target Indicator (MTI) payload leveraging existing payloads developed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army, ultimately creating a payload that fits within form and fit dimensions of Marine Corps small tactical unmanned aerial systems. FY15 efforts include technology maturation primarily of SIGINT/ES and secondarily of SAR/MTI technologies including efforts to reduce size, weight, and power requirements in preparation for full scale development efforts commencing in FY16. SIGINT and SAR/MTI capabilities are vital to the Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), the six functions of Marine Corps Aviation and the Marine Corps Intelligence Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Enterprise across the range of military operations. Funding for these efforts are represented in Program Element 0305242M Projects 5501 and 5502 for FY16 and beyond.
