The Global Hawk Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) provides high altitude, deep look, long endurance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability that compliments space and other airborne collectors during peacetime, crisis, and war-fighting scenarios. RDT&E funding in this BPAC supports design, development, integration, and testing of RQ-4 Due Regard. Due Regard supports the Worldwide Operations Key Performance Parameter (KPP) and provides the ability for UAS integration into National Airspace and full UAS operations throughout the across all mission environments. Common BAMS/GH software development is on going with prior year OSD funds. FY13 funding covers the Sense and Avoid development activities only. This is a continuation of efforts began in FY10 under OSD PEC, 64400D. Activities also include studies and analysis supporting current and future program planning and project execution. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
