EXTENDED RANGE UAV (MIP)
Abstract
The production Extended Range Multi-Purpose (ERMP) Unmanned Aircraft system (UAS) will consist of 12 Unmanned Aircraft Systems, each equipped with multi-mission payloads and a Standard Equipment Package (SEP). The threshold payload is an EO/IR/LD sensor. The SEP includes a communications relay package, Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) equipment and Air Traffic Control radios. Associated Ground Support Equipment (GSE) will have One System Ground Control Stations (OSGCS-V2 & V3), Tactical Common Data Links (TCDL) Ground Data Terminals (GDT), Portable GCS(PGCS), Portable GDT (PGDT), and Satellite Communication (SATCOM) Ground Data Terminal. Each system will also have the Automatic Take off and Landing System (ATLS), Tactical Automatic Landing System-Tracking Subsystems (TALS-TS). Each aircraft will have the connectivity, plus space, weight and power to support SATCOM and payloads; and each aircraft will be weaponized. RDT&E funds continue to resource the Engineering Manufacturing and Development (EMD) phase for ERMP, as well as continuing improvements after EMD. FY12 funding will provide for continued system development and integration, developmental test, and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E). Beginning in FY11, ERMP RDT&E funding shifts to PE 0305219A to comply with Section 214 of the FY09 National Defense Authorization Act to submit the ERMP budget in a dedicated Program Element.
