Small Unmaned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV)
Abstract
The JROC approved the capability need for SUAS in FY 2006. The outcome of SUAS is to address Joint operational concerns noted during on-going operations through the integration of new technology across the entire class of Small UAVs. The outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated are: technology insertions to provided measurably improved performance/logistical support in the following areas: Command, Control and Communications (C3); Payload Integration; Targeting; Platform Related Issues (power, propulsion, etc.); improved operator training though the use of integrated training programs with emphasis on simulation; improved and more efficient Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) across the Services for small unit real-time reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities. New operational capabilities will be evaluated and no less than once per year. Transition strategy: FY 2009/2010 is the transition period. The capabilities will be integrated into USSOCOM systems, and available for integration into all SUAS customers assets (spiraled out of the ACTD into the field as they become available). The User Sponsor and Lead agency is U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
