MQ-1 Gray Eagle - Army UAV (MIP)
Abstract
Gray Eagle provides Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Target Acquisition (RSTA), command and control, communications relay, Signals Intelligence (SIGINIT), battle damage assessment, and manned-unmanned teaming capability. Gray Eagle is a dedicated, assured, multi-mission Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) fielded to all ten Army Divisions to support the commander's combat operations. The Army Special Operations Aviation Command (ARSOAC) Gray Eagle units and Aerial Exploitation Battalions (AEB) Gray Eagle units are self-contained Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance capabilities teamed with organic Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination that are a global rapidly deployable force and contribute to the Department of Defense Global ISR mission. A Gray Eagle unit consists of either 9 or 12 Aircraft, Universal Ground Control equipment, Standard Equipment Package and Payloads to include: Electro-Optical/Infrared Laser Range Finder/Laser Designator, synthetic aperture radar/ground moving target indicator, communication relay, and up to 4 HELLFIRE Missiles. The Ground Based Sense and Avoid (GBSAA) system provides an alternative means of complying with Federal Aviation Administration "see and avoid" regulations. Justification: FY 2015 funding of $46.472 million will provide for completion of development and developmental testing of the Software Version 4.3 which will be used for Follow-on Test and Evaluation (FOT&E) and will complete Gray Eagle FOT&E test events. FY 2015 funds will also provide for GBSAA development and testing.
