Stratospheric Capability Architecture Development (SCAD)

Abstract

Previously-funded JCTD. SCAD supports the National Defense Strategy by delivering materiel solutions to the United States Army (USA) and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for acquisition and sustainment. SCAD will develop, demonstrate, and assess an unmanned aerial systems platform with stratospheric payloads that provide Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and communications relay capabilities.
