Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (CUAS)

Abstract

For transparency and in support of the Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) Joint Operational Needs (JUON) CC-0558, Project FG5 was created in FY 2017 to support the identification, development, testing, evaluation and integration of technologies to provide an overall evolutionary capability to defeat small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) threats. The C-UAS effort will provide the capability for the warfighter to comprehensively detect, track, identify and defeat enemy Groups 1 and 2 light weight, low altitude Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) UAS. The C-UAS effort involves a phased development and testing approach to spiral capability into CENTCOM. The incremental approach provides interim standalone capability within the first few months and achieves a full networked capability by end of the JUON period. FY 2019 Base dollars in the amount of $69.000 million and FY 2019 OCO dollars in the amount of $119.300 million provides improvement to previously fielded material solutions to enhance capability to detect, track, identify and defeat enemy Groups 1 and 2 light weight, low altitude COTS UAS. Efforts include development, integration, and testing of kinetic, or hard kill, defeat solutions into Low-slow-small UAS Integrated Defeat System (LIDS): 1) development of Coyote medium range seeker; 2) development of lightweight flat panel radar; 3) increase range of mobile gun weapon; and 4) development and integration of multi-function Electronic Warfare (EW) with full On-The-Move (OTM) capability.
