UAV Conops

Abstract

The Naval Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Strategy employs a family of UASs to perform tactical, persistent and - penetrating Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) in support of Naval and Joint missions from forward bases/platforms and naval ships. UAV CONOPS - In support of the Navy's overall Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) strategy, this program develops Concept of Operations (CONOPS) that integrate UASs into the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Navy Vision of Sea Power 21 (Sea Shield, Sea Strike, Sea Basing, and FORCEnet). By providing fleet input based on current operations with UASs in a simulated combat environment, this CONOPS development investment is the foundation of how the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and the Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) will operate a combined Manned and Unmanned Naval Air Force. Specifically: - Provides studies and demonstrations in support of the Naval UAS Family of Systems (FoS) CONOPS development. - Horizontally integrates across the Naval UAS FoS for the Naval Aviatioin Enterprise through interoperability and common system solutions. - Develops the Naval UAS FoS Architecture to support integration into USN battle space dominance operations and network centric warfare. - Provides Naval support for development of Standards across DOD UASs and NATO, emphasizing standardization and interoperability. - Conducts CONOPS studies, demonstrations, and exercises for Vehicle Control, Targeting, and weapons, sensor, and payload employment.
