1. C4ISR, Robot, Platforms & SensorsConference and ExpositionTECHNOLOGY TRANSITION:Building a Tactical Infrastructure Cliff Hudson Assigned To: Acquisition Concepts Joint Advanced Concepts OUSD (AT&L)

2. Background • Unmanned systems have rapidly transformed operations in operation in Iraq and Afghanistan • Predator unmanned aerial system • Talon and PackBot Counter-IED unmanned systems • User confidence in unmanned systems has led to the generation of new requirements • Systems provide critical capabilities in hazardous operations • Currently an adjunct capability not fully integrated into the force structure • Unmanned systems development efforts now span academia, industry, an government • Structured, integrated approach is necessary to fully realize the potential of unmanned systems • Opportune time to establish the infrastructure for unmanned systems development efforts SSC San Diego…on Point and at the Center of C4ISR

3. Unmanned Systems Path Ahead • Link unmanned systems efforts to key AT&L initiatives within Joint Advanced Concepts and SPAWAR CTO • Elevates and integrates unmanned systems into the development of future force capabilities • Leverage and focus DDR&E RDT&E efforts to transition and field • Formalize an organizational construct to meet Congressional direction from the FY2007 NDAA SSC San Diego…on Point and at the Center of C4ISR
