HADES Platform, Payloads/PED, and Integration
Abstract
PE 0604036A / Project DD6 is the Army's first PoR in the Multi-Domain Sensing System (MDSS) family of systems. High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) provides advanced aerial intelligence sensing capabilities for MDO against peer and near-peer adversaries, addressing Army deep sensing needs in all phases of operations and throughout the depth of the future battlefield. Highly mobile, long endurance converged deep sensing through the collection of COMINT, ELINT, and SAR/MTI data. Subsequent increment upgrades can host EW, RF-enabled Cyber, and LE. Platform performance and a MOSA increases flexibility in meeting emerging threats along with global deployment within hours vs. days/weeks. Fiscal Year 2025 base dollars in the amount of $239.135 million supports system level prototyping of the HADES system. Funds support the acquisition of the HADES prototype aircraft and payloads, NRE and design of both the aircraft and the payloads for future integration and testing of the system. The total cost of the HADES Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) effort is $540.4 million RDT&E from FY24 to FY27. The remainder of the HADES MTA is fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program.
