MQ-1C Gray Eagle MODS
Abstract
The MQ-1C Gray Eagle provides the Army with an extended range, multi-purpose (ERMP) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS); capable of executing reconnaissance, security, attack, and intelligence collection missions in the range of military operations (ROMO). Sensors/payloads include an Electro-Optical/Infrared/Laser Designator (EO/IR/LD), Synthetic Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator (SAR/MTI), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and HELLFIRE missiles; providing a near all-weather mission capability. MQ-1C Gray Eagle is a dedicated, assured, multi-mission UAS fielded to all Army Divisions, Intelligence and Security Command and Army Special Operations Command in support of the commander's warfighting priorities within multi-domain battle operations. Currently the MQ-1C Gray Eagle high fuel efficiency engine is undergoing a propulsion reliability effort, which will reduce MQ-1C Gray Eagle Return to Base events and decrease the likelihood of engine related aircraft mishaps. Additionally, this effort will increase operational readiness for the Operational Commander. The Ground Based Sense And Avoid (GBSAA) System provides an alternative means of compliance with FAR Part 91.113 requirement for an aircraft to "see and avoid" other aircraft while in the National Airspace System. This capability enhances the warfighter's ability to train with the Gray Eagle at CONUS fielding locations.
