MQ-1C Gray Eagle Modifications
Abstract
The MQ-1C Gray Eagle provides the Army with an extended range, multi-purpose (ERMP) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS); capable of executing reconnaissance, security, attack, and intelligence collection missions in the range of military operations (ROMO). Sensors/payloads include an Electro-Optical/Infrared/Laser Designator (EO/IR/LD), Synthetic Aperture Radar/Moving Target Indicator (SAR/MTI), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), and HELLFIRE missiles; providing a near all-weather mission capability. MQ-1C Gray Eagle is a dedicated, assured, multi-mission UAS fielded to all Army Divisions, Intelligence and Security Command and Army Special Operations Command in support of the commander's warfighting priorities within multi-domain battle operations. FY2024 RDTE dollars, in the amount of $6.629M, supports development efforts required for integration of vision based navigation (VBN) onto MQ-1C Gray Eagle platforms. This complementary navigation solution supports the ability of the platform to Survive, Persist, and Thrive (continue mission) in Global Positioning System (GPS) denied/contested environments (emerging GPS threats).
