STUAS
Abstract
The Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (STUAS) provides Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance/Target Acquisition (ISR/TA) support for tactical level maneuver decisions and unit level force defense/force protection for Naval ships (multi-ship classes) and Navy land forces. This system will fill the ISR capability shortfalls currently filled by services contracts. This system will support Naval Missions such as building the Recognized Maritime Picture, Maritime Security Operations, Maritime Interdiction Operations, and support of Naval Units operating from sea/shore in the global war on terror. 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. The STUAS system will continue to evolve and upgrade capabilities to satisfy capabilities shortfalls, new requirements, and reliability, maintainability, and safety issues. Upgraded capabilities may include Navy C2 integration, signals intelligence and synthetic aperture radar payloads and weapons integration. STUAS project code moved from PE 0305204N to PE 0305234N, in FY10.
