USMC MUX

Abstract

Project 3135 - The Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Expeditionary (MUX) Family of Systems (FoS) project provides funding to address capability gaps identified in the October 2016 MUX Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and associated Requirements Clarification document. This PE supports experimentation and prototyping of advanced payloads, system architectures, mission control capabilities, ground control stations, and networking and communications infrastructure. In addition MUX FoS will also develop CONOPS to integrate the MUX FoS into joint programs and operating conceptsto mitigate technical risk through model-based systems engineering, analysis, simulation, test and evaluation, and partnership with industry. The MUX FoS provides Advanced Tactical UAS in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), Littoral Operations in Contested Environments (LOCE), and Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) to provide advanced, unmanned, multi-mission capability for the MAGTF and Marine Littoral Regiment. The first MUX FoS element is MUX Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MUX MALE), a land-based Group 5 UAS scheduled to begin operating in PACOM in FY23. RDT&E efforts for MUX MALE are funded in PE 0603128N.
