Procure an improved MQ-1/MQ-9 Integrated Communications Suite.
Recommendation Information
The capability must include provisions for clear, consistent reliable and timely communications across all enclaves. It should consist o(f a single interface and a single-point reception and transmission capability, integrating inter- and intra-GCS communication, intelligence personnel, aircraft ARC-210, and GCS DSN

Critical Capability as noted at 2013 Weapons and Tactics Conference
MQ-1/MQ-9 aircraft lack sufficient means to establish and maintain communications with Command and Control (C2) and tactical agencies in the Area of Responsibility (AOR)
MQ-1/MQ-9 operators require an integrated, expandable, multi-level secure communications capability for the current and future fight, which will involve both domestic and overseas operations with a variety of partners at multiple classification levels
