Soldier Borne Sensor (SBS)

Abstract

Project FK4 - Soldier Borne Sensor (SBS): The SBS is a small unmanned aerial vehicle. The SBS provides a near term solution to three Army War-fighting Challenges at the Infantry Squad level: develop situational understanding, conduct air-ground reconnaissance, and conduct joint combined arms maneuver. The system is simple to deploy and use to support the squad leader's decision-making process. The system allows Soldiers to obtain local situational awareness and understanding of their immediate surroundings while remaining in covered or concealed positions. The SBS will be procured in multiple tranches/increments. RDTE funding will be used to develop, integrate, and qualify additional capabilities for each tranche. Funding in this project aligns with the Army's priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy.
