Urban Operations

Abstract

The goal of the Urban Operations program is to generate capabilities which would allow distributed forces to operate effectively in dense urban areas (e.g. megacities). Enabling capabilities would focus on enhanced tactical situational awareness, precise control of destructive and non-destructive effects, network operability and resilience, cyber- and electronic warfare robustness, freedom of movement, and agile logistic sustainment. The Urban Operations system would encompass sub-system and platform technologies supporting tactical mobility, operational endurance, precision effects, extensive command and control, and enhanced protection for ground forces across the range of conflicts in highly populated, densely built-up areas. Key operational functions and mission capabilities would make significant use of unmanned and autonomous systems.
