Brilliant Effects Employment Shadow (BEES)
Abstract
Previously funded JCTD. BEES directly supports the Secretary of Defense's priority for increased lethality. BEES will demonstrate targeting using cooperative, multi-modal intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and electronic warfare (EW) sensors on autonomous, unmanned aerial systems (UAS). BEES will demonstrate autonomous behaviors to synchronize multiple ISR and EW platforms that responsively update manned strike/command and control platforms. In FY 2019, BEES conducted technical and operational demonstrations of autonomous EW and ISR behaviors as part of an integrated mission package. Service funded operational and military utility assessments will conclude in FY 2020 at which time the BEES capability will transition to a Service program of record using partner funding.
