MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Abstract

This project identifies, develops, integrates, and tests Special Operations Forces (SOF) - unique modifications on MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, intelligence payloads, and control systems. As the supported combatant command in Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), USSOCOM requires the capability to find, fix, and finish time-sensitive high-value targets. These targets can often only be identified with patient collection of information and require rapid, decisive action during the short periods in which they present themselves. This project addresses the primary areas of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target (ISR&T) acquisition.
