Enhanced Medium Alt Recon Surv Sys (EMARSS) (MIP)
Abstract
The Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) is the Army's next generation C-12 based, direct support, manned airborne intelligence collection, processing, and targeting support system. EMARSS provides a persistent capability to detect, locate, classify/identify, and track surface targets with a high degree of timeliness and accuracy. EMARSS aircraft will be assigned to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command's (INSCOM) Aerial Exploitation Battalions (AEB). EMARSS is an improvement over the existing Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Survellance System Quick Reaction Capability (MARSS QRC) in that it hosts an on board (DCGS-A) capability, improved satellite communications, and improved aircraft performance. EMARSS will consist of a commercial derivative aircraft equipped with an Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Full Motion Video (FMV) sensor, a Communications Intelligence (COMINT) collection system, an aerial precision geolocation (APG) system, tactical line-of-site (LOS) and beyond line-of-site (BLOS) communications suites, two Distributed Common Ground System ? Army (DCGS-A) enabled operator workstations and a self-protection suite. EMARSS will operate as a single platform in direct support of tactical missions. EMARSS, working with and incorporating elements of the DCGS-A, will provide efficient response to Combat Forces Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) tasking with centralized Processing, Exploitation & Dissemination (PED) of ISR products while simultaneously transmitting critical FMV and other intelligence products to engaged tactical forces. FY12 Base funding in the amount of $31.465 million funds continuation of the EMARSS Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract. Funding supports Developmental and Operational Tests (DT/OT) and Limited Users Test (LUT); Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) support; preparation for ASARC/MS C and documentation; Continues Army test support; Program Management Office (PMO) support; DCGS-A on-board processing and Developmental System Integration laboratory (DSIL) efforts. FY12 OCO - No budget request FY10 was funded through RE 0307207A Project 024
