Unmanned Aircraft Systems Universal Products
Abstract
Scalable Control Interface (SCI) is the software in both ground and airborne platforms that is hosted on hardware controllers within the Integrated Tactical Network or other Army-provided networks to retrieve and provide data. SCI distributes UAS capabilities by greatly increasing the number of UAS control devices available to Soldiers, Commanders, and Battle Staff. SCI provides simultaneous employment of multiple aircraft/payloads from a single control node. SCI leverages a Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) to software in order to reduce time and cost to integrate new hardware and software in response to the dynamic future operating environment. Deployment of SCI includes devices in the Mobile/Handheld Computing Environment (such as Nett Warrior), Mounted Computing Environment such as MFoCS (Mounted Family of Computer Systems), Command Post Computing Environment such as TSI (Tactical Services Infrastructure), fixed wing aircraft, and rotary wing aircraft. SCI will integrate decision aiding, autonomy, and artificial intelligence improvements as they technically mature, in order to support MDO and reduce cognitive workload. Justification: Fiscal Year 2025 SCI (Universal Products) Base funding of $24.539 million will be utilized in the Execution Phase of the Software Acquisition Pathway to continue the development, test, and integration of SCI capabilities as hosted on Mission Command and manned aircraft command and control devices in accordance with the SCI A-CDD.
