Description
Mission — Air Launched Effects Advanced Technology
This Project develops and demonstrates the ability to launch Launched Effects (LE) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) from Army manned or unmanned aircraft at tactical altitudes and from manned or unmanned ground platforms and to control the UAS from the cockpit or a crew station; and assesses the enabled capabilities and determine their relevance to current Army Aviation engagement and survivability portfolios. Work in this Project is fully coordinated with Program Element (PE) 0602345A (Unmanned Aerial Systems Launched Effects Applied Research) / Project A42 (Air Launched Effects Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology focus areas and the Army modernization strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Aviation & Missile Center (AvMC).
Mission — Unmanned Aerial Systems Launched Effects Advanced Technology Development
This Program Element (PE) matures and demonstrates uncrewed air vehicles and mission system technologies as well as advanced teaming capabilities to enable unmanned aerial system modernization. Emphasis is on developing aviation platform and mission system technologies to enhance uncrewed air vehicle combat and combat support operations for attack, reconnaissance, air assault, survivability, logistics, and command and control missions. The PE will fund civilian salaries for in-house researchers/scientists and program managers. Work in this PE contributes to the Army Science and Technology (S&T) air systems portfolio and is fully coordinated with efforts in PE 0602148A (Future Verticle Lift Technology), PE 0602345A (Unmanned Aerial Systems Launched Effects Applied Research), and PE 0603043A (Air Platform Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army modernization strategy.

Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (2)
Versatile Launched Effects (VLE) Demonstration
Mature, integrate and demonstrate attritable future unmanned aircraft system (FUAS) capabilities suitable for contested multi- domain operations in urban, urban-fringe, and littoral environments. Demonstrate UAS family of systems that can be organically carried and launched from aircraft and surface vehicles to Find, Fix, Target, Track, Engage, and Assess (F2T2EA) targets and threats to achieve overmatch in complex Joint All-Domain Operational environments and inform the System Specifications for the LE Program of Record.
