Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS)
Abstract
For transparency and in support of the Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) Joint Operational Needs (JUONS) CC-0558, Project FG5 was created to support the identification, development, testing, evaluation and integration of technologies to provide an overall evolutionary capability to defeat small Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) threats. The C-UAS effort will provide the capability for the warfighter to comprehensively detect, identify and defeat enemy Group 1 and 2 light weight, low altitude UAS. The C-UAS effort involves a phased development and testing approach of Counter UAS Systems. The incremental approach provides interim standalone capability within the first few months and achieves a full networked capability by end of two-year JUON period. Rapid Acquisition Authority (RAA) approved for the first quarter FY 2017 research and development efforts in the amount of $65.500 million was sourced by FY 2017 OCO Operations and Maintenance (OMA) funds. These funds are being used in support of system engineering, testing, integration, and logistics. Rapid Acquisition Authority (RAA) approved for research and development efforts in the amount of $76.000 million starting in late first quarter FY2017 was sourced by FY 2017 OCO Operations and Maintenance (OMA) funds. These funds are being used for development and integration of mobile and expeditionary Low-slow-small UAS Integrated Defeat Systems. FY17 Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) December 2016 Amendment in the amount of $78.700 million supports Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 addressing incremental improvements to deployed capability as informed by test events at each phase. FY17 Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) March 2017 Amendment in the amount of $65.200 million supports Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) CC-0558 to develop and test kinetic kill defeat options for integration into the Low-slow-small UAS Integrated Defeat System.
