2.5.4 Rapid Aerostat Initial Deployment (RAID)
User Service: Army Manufacturer: Raytheon/TCOM Inventory: 3 Delivered/3 Planned Background: The Army initiated RAID to support Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF). The tethered RAID aerostat was a smaller version of the JLENS platform, operating at an altitude of 1,000 feet and with a coverage footprint extending for several kilometers. In Afghanistan, the RAID aerostat is performing the missions of area surveillance and force protection against small arms, mortar and rocket attacks. Although considerably smaller than the JLENS platform, and performing missions secondary to those of missile detection and early warning, the RAID experience in Afghanistan represents a valuable learning opportunity that should be useful to future tactical users of the JLENS.
Characteristics:
RAID RAID
Length 49 ft Tail Span 21 ft
Volume 10,200 ft3 Payload Capacity 200 lb
Performance:
Endurance 5 days Altitude 900+ ft
Sensor EO/IR Sensor Make FSI Safire III
2.5.5 Rapidly Elevated Aerostat Platform (REAP)
User Service: Army Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin/ISL-Bosch Aerospace Inventory: 2 Delivered/2 Planned Background: REAP was jointly developed by the Navy’s Office of Naval Research and the Army’s Material Command for use in Iraq. This 31-feet long aerostat is much smaller than the TARS, and operates at only 300 feet above the battlefield. It is designed for rapid deployment (approximately 5 minutes) from the back of a HMMWV and carries daytime and night vision cameras. Its sensors can see out to 18 nm from 300 feet. REAP deployed to Iraq in December 2003.

2.5.6 High Altitude Airship (HAA)
User Service: Army Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin Inventory: 0 Delivered/10-12 Planned Background: HAA is sponsored by the North American Aerospace Defense Command with the U.S. Army as the lead service and the Missile Defense Agency as the executing agent/technical manager. The objective of this ACTD is to demonstrate the engineering feasibility and potential military utility of an unmanned, untethered, solar powered airship that can fly at 65,000 feet. The prototype airship developed under this effort will be capable of continuous flight for up to a month while carrying a multi-mission payload. This ACTD is intended as a developmental step toward an objective HAA that can self-deploy from CONUS to worldwide locations and remain on station in a geo-stationary position for a year or more before returning to a fixed launch and recovery area in CONUS for servicing. This ACTD is currently under review due to technical challenges with the airship fabric. Disposition should be resolved during FY05. http://www.smdc.army.mil/FactSheets/HAA.pdf.
