Unmanned Aircraft Systems Universal Products
Abstract
Scalable Control Interface (SCI) will be the primary means of Command and Control (C2) for Program of Record Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). SCI software will be hosted on Mission Command devices in both ground and airborne platforms serving as nodes on the Integrated Tactical Network to retrieve and provide data. SCI distributes UAS capabilities by greatly increasing the number of UAS control devices available to Soldiers and Commanders through the depth of the battlefield. SCI provides simultaneous control of multiple aircraft from a single node. SCI leverages a Modular Operating System Approach (MOSA) to software integration in order to reduce time and cost to integrate new hardware and software in response to the dynamic future operating environment. Deployment of SCI will include, but is not limited to, devices in the Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (such as Nett Warrior), Mounted Computing Environment (such as MFoCS), and Command Post Computing Environment (such as TSI). SCI will integrate decision-aiding, autonomy, and artificial intelligence as they mature technically, in order to support Joint All-Domain Operations (JADO) tenets and enable One-to-Many Control/use of UAS assets and reduce cognitive workload. Justification: Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 SCI (Formerly Universal Product) Base funding of $4.594million will be used to continue the development, integration, testing, and demonstration of software applications needed to address the SCI MOSA/Future Airborne Capabilities Environment (FACE) Compliant Software requirements that support Nett Warrior, Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS), and Mission Command Tactical Server Infrastructure (TSI).
