Operational Requirements Document for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Tactical Control System (TCS) version 3.0

Abstract

The requirement relates to the Office for the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) Mission Areas 212 (Indirect Fire Support), 217 (Land Warfare Surveillance and Reconnaissance), 223 (Close Air Support and Interdiction), 227 (Air Warfare Surveillance and Reconnaissance), 232 (Amphibious, Strike, and Antisurface Warfare), 237 (Naval Warfare Surveillance and Reconnaissance), 322 (Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities (TIARA) for Tactical Land Warfare), 345 (Tactical Communications), 370 (Electronic Combat) and 373 (Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Target Acquisition). The Tactical Control System (TCS) is the software, software- related hardware and the extra ground support hardware (antennae, cabling, etc.) necessary for the control of the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV), and Medium Altitude Endurance (MAE) UAV, and future tactical UAVs. The TCS will also provide connectivity to identified Command, Control, Communications, Computers , and Intelligence (C4I) systems. TCS will have the objective capability of receiving High Altitude Endurance (MAE) UAV payload information. Although developed as a total package, the TCS will have the capability to be configured and down- scaled to meet the user's deployability or operator limitations.
