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 concepts to 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 Medium-Altitude, Long-Endurance (MALE), a land-based Group 5 UAS scheduled to begin operating in PACOM in FY23. RDT&E efforts for MALE are funded in PE 0603128N. MUX FoS within this Program Element will continue Mission System Payload development and assessment efforts for future system within and external to MALE program. Future Mission System Payloads will support Mission Sensors and other critical technologies that support future planned FoS capability.
