Abstract

Previously approved and funded JCTD project; now aligned under C&C. SCAD supports the National Defense Strategy by delivering materiel solutions to the United States Army (USA) and United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for acquisition and sustainment. SCAD develops, demonstrates, and assesses an unmanned aerial systems platform with stratospheric payloads that provide ground moving target indicator synthetic aperture radar, signals intelligence, and communications relay capabilities.
