Description
Mission — Counter - Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Sys Dev & Demonstration
The Secretary of Defense (SecDef) designated the Secretary of the Army (SA) as the Department of Defense's (DoD) Executive Agent (EA) for Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS). The EA is tasked with leading, directing, and synchronizing DoD efforts to counter small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) threats while minimizing unnecessary duplication and redundancy. The C-sUAS System Development and Demonstration efforts are in response to DoD Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandums (JROC-M) requirements for identification, development, testing, evaluation, and integration of technologies to defeat sUAS threats across the DoD. The efforts provide warfighters the ability to comprehensively detect, track, identify, and defeat threat Group 1, 2 and 3 UAS platforms. The efforts will be joint development efforts to provide integrated solutions to meet the needs of the Military Services and DoD Agencies against emerging threats.
Mission — C-sUAS Joint Enabling Capabilities
The Counter- small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) effort is in response to the Department of Defense's (DoD) response to Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandums (JROC-M) to support identification, development, testing, evaluation, and integration of technologies to provide capability to defeat small Unmanned Aircraft System threats across the DoD. Joint Enabling Capabilities efforts provide warfighters the ability to comprehensively detect, track, identify, and defeat enemy Group 1, 2 and 3 UAS platforms. The efforts will provide integrated solutions to meet the needs of the Military Services and DoD Agencies against emerging sUAS threats.
Mission — C-sUAS Joint New Capabilities
The Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Joint New Capabilities effort develops new technologies and materiel solutions to enable the military services and joint force to counter Groups 1-3 sUAS threats. These developments are aligned with Joint Requirements Oversight Council Memorandum (JROCM) 058-23 Operational Requirements. Joint solutions will address Fixed Site / Semi-Fixed Site, Mobile, and Dismounted systems. Efforts include development, test and evaluation, and integration sufficient for transition to fieldable capabilities.
Justification
Accomplishments & Planned Programs (3)
Common Data Repository Development
Provide a joint multi-classification platform to provide cross collaboration C-sUAS data and analytic eco-system for Group 1-3 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Data repositories will consume disparate data sources from across the Department of Defense. Sources of data include intelligence data, commercial data, and Military Service-developed data to support acquisition and deployed C-sUAS systems.
Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Development Command and Control
Development, test & evaluation, and integration of new technologies to improve command and control for C-sUAS. Efforts include development of detection, identification, and tracking capabilities to enable new or improved command and control of sensors and effectors.
Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Development Defeat
Development, test & evaluation, and integration of new technologies to defeat sUAS. Efforts include development of detection, identification, and tracking capabilities to enable new or improved defeat mechanism.
