EMARSS ADV DEV

Abstract

The Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) is the Army's newest 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 United States (U.S.) Army INSCOM Aerial Exploitation Battalions, providing Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance support to combatant commanders. EMARSS is also assigned to the United States Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) in support of training at the US Army Intelligence Center of Excellence (USAICoE). 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). The FY23 funding line of $2.096 million supports NRE, development of TC, testing, integration of Modifications in Service of current or future EMARSS AISR systems. Funding provides for the integration of Department of Defense (DoD) mandated safety equipment to meet current and evolving International Standards and future integration efforts supporting A-ISR modernization in the Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) environment. It also enhances aircraft communications, navigations and surveillance (CNS); aircraft survivability equipment (ASE) to include integration of Air Launched Effects onto Army fixed wing platforms; integration of AISR mission equipment package (MEP); as well as solving obsolescence issues and increasing commonality across EMARSS aircraft.
