2.1.12 Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) UA
User Service: Navy Manufacturer: TBD Inventory: 0 Delivered/TBD Planned
Background: The Navy is developing the BAMS UA to provide a persistent, maritime, worldwide access, ISR capability. Operating as an adjunct to the Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft, the BAMS UA will conduct continuous open-ocean and littoral surveillance of targets as small as 30-foot vessels. The BAMS UA will be unarmed, possess high endurance, and will operate from land-based sites worldwide. BAMS UAS of up to 5-6 air vehicles at each operating location will provide persistence by being airborne 24 hours a day, 7 days a week out to on-station ranges of 2,000 nautical miles. Worldwide access will be achieved by providing coverage over nearly all the world’s high-density sea-lanes, littorals, and areas of national interest from its operating locations. BAMS UA will also contribute to providing the Fleet Commander a common operational picture of the battlespace day and night. Additionally, a communication relay capability will provide the Fleet Commander a ‘low hanging satellite’ capability, linking him to widely dispersed forces in the theater of operation and serving as a communication node in the Navy’s FORCEnet strategy. http://uav.navair.navy.mil/bams/BAMS_AUVSI_Brief.pdf

2.1.13 Extended Range/Multipurpose (ER/MP) UA
User Service: Army Manufacturer: TBD Inventory: 0 Delivered/90 Planned (Increment 2)
Background: The Army began defining requirements for a successor to its RQ-5 Hunter systems in late 2001. Called the ER/MP UAS, it is envisioned as a medium altitude, endurance UA, its preliminary requirements closely resemble Hunter’s capabilities. Funding started in FY04 and an IOC is planned for 2007, the ER/MP acquisition approach is to procure an in-production system. The ER/MP request for proposal (RFP) was released in September 2004. Two contractor teams successfully completed the System Concept Demonstration in March 2005. A Milestone B decision was made on April 20, 2005, with a single contractor award expected in May 2005. A key requirement is that the ER/MP UA must be controllable from the RQ-7 Shadow ground station. Five systems (12 aircraft each) are planned for Increment 1, with each system increasing to 18 aircraft in Increment 2.
