Proposal Statement
) Modernizing MQ-1/MQ-9 for high-speed exploitation support data (ESD). High Speed ESD involves simple hardware modifications that increase this sample rate to 20 Hz, creating a 600 percent improvement in aircraft and Sensor Point of Interest (SPI) refresh rate. This also supports off-board threat warning systems crucial to increasing survivability in contested environments and higher refresh
Recommendation Information
Recommendation continued:
rates mean higher fidelity navigational data, a key part of operating in the National Airspace System (NAS) for Domestic Operations (DOMOPS).
Justification:
Critical Capability as noted at 2013 Weapons and Tactics Conference
Current ESD is parceled externally at 0.3 Hz, or once every three seconds. This results in aircraft positional updates that are relatively slow and choppy in tactical displays
High Speed ESD (HS ESD) involves simple hardware modifications that increase this sample rate to 20 Hz, creating a 600 percent improvement in aircraft and Sensor Point of Interest (SPI) refresh rate. This further enables automation of several essential warfighting tools including Hellfire Missile Impact Tool and Skynet
This capability also supports off-board threat warning systems crucial to increasing survivability in contested environments, as well as geo-registration of the Full-Motion Video (FMV) in Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) software such as Catalina 2d3
