1 Headquarters U.S. Air Force Air Force Unmanned Aircraft System Update Colonel Eric Mathewson Director, Air Force UAS Task Force

2 USAF UAS Vision A Joint approach to: Get the most out of UAS to increase joint warfighting capability, while promoting service interdependency, and the wisest use of tax dollars Requires: Optimal Joint Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Airspace Integration Resulting in Safe/Effective UAS Operations Increased Acquisition Effectiveness, Efficiency, Standardization Interoperable and Interdependent d t Joint Unmanned Systems AF objectives fully support OSD Unmanned Systems Integrated Roadmap 2

3 Current UAS Snapshot MQ-1 Predator 31 CAPs (flown from CONUS) 71 aircraft deployed 138,404 combat hours in % increase over 2007 MQ-9 Reaper 2 CAPs (flown from CONUS) 11 aircraft deployed 12, 770 combat hours in 2008 (1 st sortie Sep 07) Fielded over 1 year early RQ-4 Global Hawk 1-2 CAPs (flown from CONUS) 3 aircraft deployed Working closely w/ USN on future development Force Objective 195 Force Objective 319 Force Objective 77 Ramping to 50 Predator and Reaper and 4 Global Hawk CAPs by FY11

4 Ongoing UAS Enhancements Predator: Encrypted communications links and ROVER (portable line-of-sight video terminals) Enhanced Target Location Accuracy (TLA) Reaper: JDAM integration completes this month Wide Area Airborne Surveillance (WAAS): 1 MQ-9 = 65+ video shots Global Hawk: Enhanced EO/IR cameras Communications relay ( Objective Gateway )

5 An Air Force with AF UAS Long-term Flight Plan Unmanned aircraft that are fully integrated across the full range of military operations UAS that use automated control and modular plug- and-play payloads to maximize combat capability, flexibility and efficiency Joint UAS solutions and teaming An informed industry and academia knowing where we are going and what technologies to invest in Capabilities-based based Air Force UAS vision thru 2047: Defines DOTMLPF way forward 5

6 UAS Flight Plan Assumptions Manned and unmanned systems must be integrated to increase capability across the full range of military operations for the Joint Force UAS compelling where the human is a limitation to mission success Automation is key to increasing effects, while potentially reducing cost, forward footprint and risk The desired effect is a product of the integrated system (payload, network, and PED); and less the platform UAS must be considered as viable alternative solutions Modular systems with standardized interfaces enhance adaptability, sustainability and reduce cost Robust, agile, redundant C2 enables supervisory control ( man on the loop ) DOTMLPF-P solutions are linked and must be synchronized 6

7 How do we get there? Methodology Identified where we are today Examined future scenarios and desired capabilities From that future perspective identified actions to get there from today Matched compelling requirements to UAS capabilities aligned with AF Core Functions Identified and sequenced DOTMLPF-P actions to enable fielding of UAS capabilities and effects 7
