EMARSS ADV DEV (MIP)
Abstract
The Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) is the Army's next generation C-12 based, direct support, manned airborne intelligence collection, processing, and targeting support system. It provides a persistent capability to detect, locate, classify/identify, and track surface targets with a high degree of timeliness and accuracy. EMARSS will be assigned to the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command's Aerial Exploitation Battalions, providing Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance support to combatant commanders. The Army Acquisition Objective for EMARSS is 36 systems, with an Army Procurement Objective of 24, to include the following variants: eight (8) EMARSS-G (Geo-INT); four (4) EMARSS-V (Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar, VaDER); eight (8) EMARSS-M (Multi-INT); and four (4) EMARSS-S (SIGINT). This funding line supports non-recurring engineering (NRE), development of supplemental type certificates (STC), testing, integration and Modifications in Service of Army Aerial, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (AISR) systems. Funding provides for Department of Defense (DoD) mandated safety equipment to meet current and evolving International Standards. It also enhances aircraft communications, navigations and surveillance (CNS); aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) and the integration of the AISR mission equipment package (MEP) as well as obsolescence issues involved with the conversion of Liberty Project Aircraft (LPA) to the EMARSS Program of Record (POR), in regards to the Navy AAR-47 converting to Army AAR-57, Blue Force Tracker (BFT) to Blue Force Tracker-2 (BFT-2) and Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS) upgrades.
