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 Surveillance System Quick Reaction Capability (MARSS QRC) in that it hosts an on board Distributed Common Ground System - Army (DCGS-A) capability, improved satellite communications, improved aircraft performance, and life cycle logistics sustainment capability. EMARSS will consist of a commercial derivative aircraft equipped with an Electro-optical/Infrared (EO/IR) sensor with Full Motion Video (FMV), a Communications Intelligence (COMINT) collection system, an Aerial Precision Geolocation (APG) system, tactical line-of-site (LOS) and beyond line-of-site (BLOS) communications suite, two DCGS-A enabled operator workstations and a self-protection suite. EMARSS is built to allow future capabilities to be integrated on platform with the addition of a third carry-on workstation. EMARSS will operate as a single platform in direct support of tactical missions. EMARSS, integrating elements of the DCGS-A, will provide efficient response to Combat Forces with Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) tasking. EMARSS' flexibility, endurance, sensor capability, communications architecture, and Processing, Exploitation & Dissemination (PED) support is relevant to the entire Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, and Disseminate (F3EAD) cycle. FY14 Base funding in the amount of $10.382 million funds final Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) activities to include delta testing and corrective actions resulting from Limited User Test (LUT). These funds also provide partial funding for an Interim Contractor Logistics Support (ICLS) capability. Results will support a Milestone C decision.
