Joint Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) Precision Targeting (JUPT)
Abstract
The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) validated the capability need for small UAS systems in FY 2010. The objective of this effort is to rapidly provide precision coordinates from UAS generated imagery for use with coordinate seeking weapons. The Joint Commander must be able to rapidly transition from observing to striking high value targets with coordinate seeking weapons in all terrain, while minimizing collateral damage. Current UASs and targeting pods are unable to generate precision coordinates (category 1) under most conditions. The ability to rapidly strike targets identified by UAS assets is delayed because UAS derived coordinates lack precision required for coordinate seeking weapons. Deliverables include hardware, software, and documentation and a finalized CONOPS, TTPs, training package, and DOTMLPF change recommendations. The Combatant Command/User Sponsor is the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) and the Lead Service/Agency is also SOCOM.
