Description
Mission — Counter Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-SUAS) Advanced Technology
This Program Element (PE) develops, matures, and demonstrates novel capabilities that aid in the detection, tracking, identification, mitigation, and/or defeat of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) groups 1-3. Develops and matures counter-small UAS (C-SUAS) detection capabilities in radar, radio frequency (RF), electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR), and acoustic signature regimes. Develops capabilities to track and predict UAS flight paths, airspace situational awareness, and/or location of UAS operators to increase defeat and force protection capabilities. Matures identification methods to discern aerial systems and payloads. Matures and demonstrates algorithms to enable threat prioritization, airspace control, coordinated response, and resource management of C-SUAS capabilities. Mature, demonstrate, and transition interceptor capabilities to deliver physical effects that enable faster intercept, greater standoff ranges, increased magazine depth, survivability, affordability, and/or decrease in size, weight, and/or power requirements. The cited research is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army modernization strategy.

Develops capabilities to track and predict UAS flight paths, airspace situational awareness, and/or location of UAS operators to increase defeat and force protection capabilities. Matures and demonstrates algorithms to enable threat prioritization, airspace control, coordinated response, and resource management of CsUAS capabilities. Matures technical solutions to defeat sUAS capabilities, including target acquisition, navigation, and control, in addition to identifying and exploiting weaknesses in sUAS system design and operation. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army modernization strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC) and Armaments Center (AC).

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (4)
Counter Swarm Kinetic Integrated Defeat
This effort will mature and demonstrate integrated, networked counter-swarm kinetic defeat armament systems and techniques for detecting, tracking, identifying/characterizing, and defeating swarming unmanned systems. Integrates a combined arms/multi-mission approach of armament weapons, munitions, fire control and countermeasure technologies for integrated layered defense, counter-swarm system of systems capability across distributed formation platforms.
Extended Range C-sUAS (XRC) Adv Tech
This effort matures concepts and component technology development to increase range, reduce reaction time, increase lethality, improve reliability, and reduce reload time for C-sUAS kinetic interceptor capabilities for the maneuver forces fixed site and mobile C-sUAS configurations.
