Brilliant Effects Employment Shadow (BEES)

Abstract

Previously funded JCTD. BEES directly supports the Secretary of Defense's priority for increased lethality by enhancing the targeting kill chain. BEES will demonstrate finding, fixing, tracking, and targeting of mobile targets using cooperative, multi-modal intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and electronic warfare (EW) sensors on autonomous, unmanned aerial systems (UAS). BEES will demonstrate autonomous behaviors to synchronize multiple ISR and EW unmanned platforms that responsively find, fix, and track moving high value targets, and update manned strike/command and control platforms. In FY 2018, BEES conducted flight demonstrations of UAS required behaviors, fight demonstrations of EW and ISR autonomous actions and laboratory testing of integrated EW and ISR payloads.
