STUAS Lite
Abstract
The Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System Lite (STUAS Lite) integrates a Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) system onto Navy surface combatant (multi-ship classes) vessels and will provide Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)/Target Acquisition support for tactical level maneuver decisions and unit level force defense/force protection for surface combatant ships and Naval expeditionary forces. This system will fill the ISR capability shortfalls currently filled by the ISR services contracts. This system will support Naval Missions such as building the Recognized Maritime Picture, Maritime Security Operations, Maritime Interdiction Operations, and Naval Units operating from sea/shore in support of Overseas Contingency Operations. Operational Test Asset consist of one air vehicle to be used in identifying and assessing reliability issues. A notional system consists of four air vehicles, ground control station(s), multi-mission (plug-and-play) payloads, and associated launch, recovery and support equipment. This project will continue to evolve and upgrade STUAS Lite capabilities to satisfy capabilities shortfalls, new requirements, and reliability, maintainability, and safety issues. Upgraded capabilities may include Navy Command and Control integration, Signals Intelligence, Synthetic Aperture Radar payloads and weapons integration.
