Systems of Systems-Enhanced Small Units (SESU)
Abstract
The System of Systems-Enhanced Small Unit (SESU) program is developing and demonstrating capabilities based on system-of-systems architecture that could enable a small unit to destroy, deceive, and/or disrupt the adversary's Anti-Access / Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities in order to enable joint and coalition multi-domain operations at appropriate times and locations. SESU-developed capabilities will provide the small unit with improved awareness of enemy force composition, disposition, and intent. Technologies to accomplish this include command and control (C2) that operates in a contested environment; distributed sensing, including the ability to leverage indigenous information sources; hybrid effects that include a mix of kinetic, non-kinetic, and information operations capabilities; and autonomous systems to deliver effects and conduct sensing. A Campaign of Learning (CoL) will be conducted in partnership with the Army, and technologies produced by this program will be transitioned to the Services.
