The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2017 book requested $418.0K for FY2017; the PB2019 book reported $0 as actual total obligation authority — $418.0K below the request. 0.0 − 0.4 = -0.4 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — RQ-11 UAV
Family of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (FoSUAS) (formerly Small Unit Remote Scouting System (SURSS) is a Commandant of the Marine Corps Force Modernization initiative. FoSUAS consists of Short Range/Short Endurance (SR/SE), Medium Range/Medium Endurance (MR/ME) and Long Range/Long Endurance (LR/LE) systems. The FoSUAS program provides Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) for battalion/company/detachment level units with scalable airborne Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) capabilities to aid in detecting, identifying, engaging, and/or avoiding enemy units. Although Force Design Modernization prioritizes LR/LE capabilities, the requirements for SR/SE and MR/ME systems remain to minimize operational risk and improve operational flexibility in asset allocation that maximizes economy of force across the conflict continuum. FoSUAS meets the validated operational requirements delineated in the Operational Requirements Document (ORD), Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Rapid Acquisition Top Level Requirements (TLR), and Long Range/Long Endurance (LR/LE) TLR. SR/SE is a SUAS with a 5-10 kilometer range and endurance up to 50 minutes. SR/SE systems address the need for situational awareness in urban and challenging terrain environments and reduce request-to- response timeframes for RSTA coverage. MR/ME is a SUAS with a 10-20 kilometer range and endurance up to 4 hours. MR/ME provides an organic, persistent RSTA capability to company level units, Route Clearance Platoons (RCP), and Combat Logistics Patrols (CLP) to enhance force protection, detect Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), provide laser targeting/marking/range finding, and communication relay. LR/LE is a SUAS with a 20-50 kilometer range and endurance up to 6 hours. LR/LE provides organic capabilities to battalion level units to satisfy Ground Combat Element RSTA needs. LR/LE SUAS are currently deployed to conduct multi-sensor RTSA operations for Marine Forces Special Operations Command and support Marine Corps fires and maneuver elements.
Mission — Unmanned Air Systems (Intel)
In support of the Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) Planning Guidance and Force Design Modernization, the Family of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (FoSUAS) program provides Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) for battalion/company/detachment level units with scalable airborne RSTA capabilities to aid in detecting, identifying, engaging, and/or avoiding enemy units. FoSUAS meet validated operational requirements delineated in the Operational Requirements Document (ORD), Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Rapid Acquisition Top Level Requirements (TLR), and Long Range/Long Endurance (LR/LE) TLR. SUAS Reusable Architecture (SRA) capability will reduce the size, weight, and manpower required to operate a SUAS, increases the mobility of the operator, and improves digital interoperability. The SRA project, a technology improvement effort, will increase interoperability, protect cyber security, and reduce cyber security risk, decrease maintenance and sustainment costs, minimize risk and cost associated with technology insertion and improvement, and reduce manpower required to operate a FoSUAS. FoSUAS is developing SRA to establish reference implementations and industry guidance for all key SUAS interfaces, drastically improving interoperability by permitting industry, government, and academia to design-to-field hardware and software capabilities with well-defined integration and cybersecurity requirements up front. In addition to accelerating payload integration, SRA will allow portability of both software and hardware-based functionality across disparate platforms and control segments, as well as enable rapid integration of both open and closed-source artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) tools to inject autonomy and target recognition capabilities into FoSUAS. This effort will reduce duplicative engineering, training, integration, and sustainment efforts associated with closed, proprietary systems. SRA also seeks to authorize all SRA-compliant systems under a single service accreditation in order to define, address, and mitigate security vulnerabilities at the enterprise-level in current and future platforms.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not RQ-11 UAV. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
