Unmanned ISR

Abstract

This project is part of the Military Intelligence Program (MIP). Unmanned Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) rapidly develops and deploys special capabilities to perform ISR for deployed Special Operations Forces (SOF) using non-traditional means. Group 1, 2, 3 and 4, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) developmental efforts are to identify, develop, integrate, and test Special Operations-peculiar (SO-p) mission kits, mission payloads, air vehicle enhancements, and modifications to ground control stations. Based on stakeholder input and requirements, United States Special Operations Command develops and integrates UAS payloads to advance ISR capabilities that address dynamic and emergent operational needs of the SOF user. Efforts include improving imagery intelligence and electronic warfare payloads, capitalizing on developing technologies to reduce size, weight and power while addressing processing and data management challenges. This program also provides a mechanism for SOF user combat evaluation of emerging sensor technologies.
