UAS Roadmap Strategy HighlightsArmy UAS Roadmap
• Nested with OSD UMS Roadmap• UAS Strategies White Paper• UAS CoE ASC working group with key stake holders• SMEs used to validate / expand initial drafts (All of the UAS Community of Practice)• UAS Roadmap validated by Council of Colonels
• Theme: “Eyes of the Army”• Message: UAS support the Soldier on the ground• Near-, Mid- and Far- Term structure• DOTMLPF-P assessment• Vignettes: Full spectrum (offense, defense, civil support, ISR, SOF, MUM)• Challenges / Capability Gaps
Development Process
Key AspectsSynchronization Efforts• Included in Sep-Dec 09 UAS BoDs• GO BoD scheduled 22 Jan 10• Strategic communications effort to “get the word out”• Parallel DOTD UAS Training Strategy• ASC Working group included participation from the UAS Community of Practice• TRADOC CoE’s involvement
• Soldiers are the backbone of Army UAS• Synchronizes human, network and equipment• Commonality and Open Systems Architecture• Dynamically re-taskable for commanders• Provide actionable intelligence to tactical level• Shortens “sensor to shooter” timeline• Support full spectrum operations• Commanders to employ a variety of capabilities
