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 is 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 type certificates (TC), testing, integration of Modifications in Service of Army Aerial, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (AISR) systems and engineering analysis/structural modifications to substantially increase EMARSS (King Air B300) payload capacity and time on station. Funding provides for the integration of 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 and commonality with the conversion of Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) Liberty Project Aircraft (LPA), VADER and Constant Hawk/TACOP aircraft to the EMARSS Program of Record (POR).
