RQ-11 Raven
Abstract
The Family of Small Unmanned Aircraft System (FoSUAS) provides battalion and below ground maneuver elements with critical situational awareness and enhanced force protection. The system provides the small unit commander an organic and responsive reconnaissance and targeting capability with real-time Full Motion Video and sensor data. Other compatible receivers, such as the One System Remote Video Terminal and appropriately equipped manned platforms may also receive the FoSUAS products. The RPUAS FoSUAS provides the battalion and below ground maneuver elements with an organic, on-demand, asset to develop situational awareness, enhance force protection, and secure routes, points, and areas. The system provides the small unit commander an organic and responsive reconnaissance and targeting capability with real-time Full Motion Video and sensor data. The RPUAS FoSUAS includes a combination of three separate hand-launched mission specific configurable aircraft that do not require an improved launch/recovery. The three separate mission specific configurable Unmanned Aircraft (UA) are the Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR)), the Medium Range Reconnaissance (MRR), and the Long Range Reconnaissance (LRR). In addition to the aircraft, the system contains ground control equipment, which includes an interoperable handheld ground control station (H-GCS), which incorporates the Tactical Open Government Owned Architecture (TOGA). FoSUAS will utilize existing RQ-11 in a system of systems fielding concept, with Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) and Long Range Reconnaissance (LRR) options under development. FY 2021 funding has been reprogrammed from Program Element (PE) 0305232A RQ-11 UAV (6.7) to PEs 0604101A Soldier Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV) (6.4) Project BR6 Soldier Unmanned Aircraft System and 0605205A SUAV (6.5) Project BR7 Soldier Unmanned Aircraft System.
