Description

Mission UxS Common Standards, Interoperability and Integration

The Naval Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) strategy employs a family of UAS to perform various missions in support of naval and joint service missions from forward bases/platforms and naval ships. In support of the Navy and Marine Corps' overall UAS strategy, this program develops common technical and interoperability standards for current and future unmanned platforms, sensors, communications, and networking capabilities to achieve the integration and interoperability of UAS represented in approved Naval Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in support of the Navy's Unmanned Campaign Framework. Leveraging fleet input based on current operations and informed by future operational plans, these efforts ensure the desired interoperability and integration of Unmanned Systems (UxS) throughout the battlespace is achieved. This program also establishes the common architecture, including command & control, for all unmanned systems to support and inform future CONOPS development. This effort provides for a cross program view of naval unmanned systems and is the entry point for DoN and other services to address commonality and interoperability opportunities. Specifically: - Provides studies and demonstrations in support of Naval UAS Family of Systems (FoS) CONOPS development. - Horizontally integrates across the Naval UAS FoS through the development of Naval Interoperability Profiles to achieve required unmanned capabilities and interoperability. - Provides support for development of common and interoperable UAS standards for use throughout the Department of Defense (DoD) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). - Conducts CONOPS studies, demonstrations, advanced development/prototyping, exercises for vehicle control, targeting, and weapons, sensor and payload employment.

Mission Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance

This program element funds efforts to develop common technical and interoperability standards for current and future unmanned platforms, sensors, communications, and networking capabilities to achieve the required integration and interoperability of Unmanned Systems (UxS) represented in approved Naval Concept of Operations (CONOPS) in support of the Navy's Unmanned Campaign Framework. This program is funded under ADVANCED COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPES because it includes all efforts necessary to evaluate integrated technologies and representative models or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.

Justification

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)

Naval Interoperability & Standardization

Develop UAS common technical standards implementations to achieve desired capabilities and interoperability between manned/unmanned systems.

Studies and Demonstrations

Studies and demonstrations to support CONOPS development from an interoperability perspective for effective integration of UAS. Develop a UAS architecture environment to allow for effective modeling and simulation of common UAS components in representative battlespace architectures.
