Description
Mission — Advanced Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System
Project 3135 - The Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Expeditionary (MUX) Family of Systems (FoS) project provides funding to address requirements identified in the October 2016 MUX Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and April 2020 MUX Requirements Clarification document. This PE supports development, testing, experimentation, prototyping, concept refinement and risk reduction of advanced payloads, system architectures, mission control capabilities, ground control stations, advanced and interoperable networking and communications systems and infrastructure, and new unmanned aircraft systems Additionally this PE will develop CONOPS to integrate the MUX FoS into joint programs and operating concepts to mitigate technical risk through model-based systems engineering, analysis, simulation, test and evaluation, and partnership with industry. The MUX FoS provides Advanced Tactical UAS in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO), Littoral Operations in Contested Environments (LOCE), and Distributed Maritime Operations (DMO) to provide advanced, unmanned, multi-mission capability for the MAGTF and Marine Littoral Regiment (MLR).

MUX FoS within this Program Element will continue Mission System Payload development and assessment efforts for future system within and external to MALE program. Future Mission System Payloads will support Mission Sensors and other critical technologies that support future planned FoS capability.
Mission — Congressional Adds
Project C365 - The Mobile Unmanned/Manned Distributed Lethality Airborne Network (MUDLAN) project provides development, testing, fleet experimentation, concept refinement and risk reduction of high-bandwidth, adaptable, resilient, and protected communications systems in support of future sensors and communications. These capabilities are needed for unmanned and manned operations in a distributed maritime operational environment, connecting and distributing data across multiple users and multiple domains in a common network architecture which enhances tactical edge situational awareness with a single user interface.
