2010-2035 U.S. Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Roadmap, Raven, Hunter, Shadow, UAV Drone Systems for Sensors, Cargo, Weapons - Training, Tasking, Threat Environments, Control Elements (Ringbound)

This ringbound book provides a reproduction of the U.S. Army Roadmap for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) from 2010-2035 by the U.S. Army UAS Center of Excellence, providing detailed information on current systems and future plans for Army UAS platforms including Nano, SWARM, GBSAA, Raven RQ-11, SUAS, gMAV, Shadow FQ-7B, Hunter MQ-5B, MQ-1C Extended Range Multi-Purpose, XM156, and more. There is excellent coverage of UAS historical background, vision, assumptions, definition, mission packages, human element, control element, display, communication architecture, life cycle logistics, integration, tasking, processing, exploitation, dissemination, operational environment, command and control of Army UAS, interoperability with other government agencies, coalition partners, UAS employment, support of warfighter functions, UAS echelons, operational vignettes, special force usage, near term capabilities, knowledge management, distance learning, materiel, leadership, personnel, facilities, challenges and capability gaps, national airspace system integration, commonality and architecture, payload versus aircraft weight, payload types, and more. Figures provide coverage of Army UAS operating altitudes, worldwide joint UAS usage, levels of airworthiness, Army UAS stakeholders, levels of interoperability, UAS current systems, specific sensor payload characteristics, UAS training, supporting the warfighter, components, control element, ground control station, manned-unmanned teaming, risk vs. time by echelon, Raven operations and missions, offensive operations, defensive operations, civil support operations, intelligence operations, SOF operations, Army UAS capability timeline, near-term manned-unmanned roles transition, training environment and more. Our news and educational titles are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work and educational tool. The Roadmap outlines how the U.S. Army will develop, organize, and employ UAS from 2010 to 2035 across full spectrum operations. Experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq prove that UAS significantly augment mission accomplishment by reducing a Soldier's workload and their exposure to direct enemy combat. * Our news and educational titles are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government.
