Description
Description — Future UAS Family
The Future Uncrewed Aircraft System (FUAS) is a critical system in the cross-domain capabilities concept that will employ multi-domain operation (MDO) capabilities at all echelons and allow ground-based forces to project power from land into other domains to defeat highly capable enemies, secure terrain, and consolidate gains. FUAS encompasses an array of capabilities from platoon Soldiers to Division Commanders. The Army Requirements Oversight Council (AROC) approved the FUAS Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) on 6 Mar 2019. Future Tactical Uncrewed Aircraft System (FTUAS) provides the Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) with transformational capabilities. FTUAS provides the BCT commander a runway independent, expeditionary reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition (RSTA) capability through vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and on the move (OTM) command and control. FTUAS enhances survivability in a MDO environment through assured position, navigation, and timing (APNT) solutions; Type-1 encrypted datalinks; and a modular open systems approach (MOSA) that facilitates system upgrades at the pace of technology. FTUAS mitigates operation and support costs through organic sustainment capability, specifically through Soldiers conducting field level maintenance without contractor field service representatives. Additionally, FTUAS provides enhanced transportability, rapid deployability, expeditionary maneuver, and mobility for adaptive and agile operations. The AROC validation was completed on 17 May 2024, and AROC-Memorandum was signed on 8 July 2024 approving the updated A-CDD. One FTUAS system consists of 6 air vehicles and payloads, 6 control stations, and ancillary equipment. The aircraft subsystem includes the airframe, propulsion, avionics, communications, navigation, and software systems; aircraft-specific ground support equipment including power generation, transportation, or command and control equipment; aircraft software. Launched Effects (LE) extends the speed, range, lethality and survivability of maneuver formations through the integration of air vehicles, mission systems, payloads, and behaviors. LE will provides Army formations with the ability to expedite and strengthening the kill web, facilitate the penetration and dis-integration the enemy's Anti-Access Area Denial (A2AD) environment and extend the maneuver force's reach, lethality, and survivability. LE efforts are based on requirements from an AROC approved Abbreviated-Capability Development Document (A-CDD) approved 08 July 2024. FY 2026 funding was transferred from Budget Activity (BA) 2, A00510 Future UAS Family to BA 6, I48000 FUTURE UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS) FAMILY in support of Agile Portfolio Management.
