MQ-1C Gray Eagle MODS
Abstract
Gray Eagle provides Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Target Acquisition (RSTA), Command and Control, Communications Relay, Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Battle Damage Assessment, and Manned-Unmanned Teaming capability. Gray Eagle is a dedicated, assured, multi-mission Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) fielded to all Army Divisions, Army Intelligence and Security Command and Army Special Operations Command in support of the commander's warfighting priorities. The MQ-1C Gray Eagle Modification/Product Improvement Program (PIP) funding is required for the implementation of the Alternate Munition integration, Global Positioning System (GPS) Denied, an electronic warfare capability, Universal Ground Control Station (UGCS) improvements, and Ground Based Sense And Avoid (GBSAA) Block II. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 Aircraft Modification/Product Improvement funding of $35.793 million will support the development required to integrate Alternate Munition, GPS Denied, UGCS Improvements into the MQ-1C Gray Eagle product. GBSAA Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDTE) will provide development, integration and testing of Block 2. Block 2 decreases operational & sustainment costs, operator workload, hardware/software costs, increases system safety, and provides full material release for soldier operation.
