  1. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 System Requirements Review2/20/07Team 1 • John Horst • Jared Odle • Keith Fay • Boyce Dauby • Andrew Kovach • Akshay Raje • Jason Darby • Manish Handa

  2. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Secondary Target Market Civilian Wireless Communications Providers Search and Rescue Expeditionary Forces Research Institutions Land Developers Target Market • Primary Target Market • Military/Government • Army • Coast Guard • National Guard • Department of Homeland Security • FEMA

  3. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Market Size • By 2010, existing and planned capacities are forecast to meet only 44 percent of the need projected by Joint Vision 2010 to ensure information superiority. • Tactical communication needs can be met much more responsively and effectively with ACNs than with satellites. • ACNs can effectively augment theater satellite capabilities by addressing deficiencies in capacity and connectivity. • Satellites are better suited than UA for meeting high capacity, worldwide communications needs. - UAS Roadmap 2005 ACN: Aircraft Communication Node

  4. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Competition • Conventional Competition • Broadcast Towers • Communication Satellites • Lighter-Than-Air Vehicles • Unmanned Aerial Vehicles • Shadow 200 • BA-71K • Hunter • Predator

  5. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Market Size • Current ACN systems • RQ7 Shadow 200 • 100 built out of 332 planned for production • Remainder of Market • Possible demand for 420 additional ACN systems • Estimate to satisfy 10% of this void during the first year of production • Planned production of approximately 42 ACN systems

  6. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Concept of Operations • Mission Statement: • The objective is to provide a fixed-wing, semi-autonomous, long-endurance, continuous-area coverage unmanned aerial vehicle to relay communication of tactical importance for an extended period of time. • Takeoff • Conventional runway takeoff (Autonomous or Remote Operation) • Distance from Takeoff to Coverage Area • Approximately 100 nautical miles • Loiter Time/Velocity/Altitude • 24 hours at 80 kts at 15,000 ft. AGL

  7. Concept of Operations AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 • Transmitting/Receiving • Ground Forces  UAV  Command Station or other Ground Forces • Control • Autonomous with manual backup/mission override • Remote Operators • Trained military UAV pilots controlling from Mission Command Center • Level of Threat • Design for high threat environment • Auxiliary Payloads • Possible communications jamming equipment and/or countermeasures

  8. Concept of Operations AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 • Landing • Conventional runway landing (Autonomous or Remote Operation) • Continuous Coverage/Refitting • Active UAV ceases coverage and returns for refuelling after replacement UAV arrives and initiates coverage • Number of UAVs per System* • Two for continuous coverage cycle with one for reserve • *System • Continuous coverage capability over a tactical mission area for an indefinite period of time

  9. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Communications Payload • AJCN - Adaptive Joint C4ISR Node by BAE Systems *Volume approximated by avionic density: 0.02 – 0.03 ft3/lb

  10. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07

  11. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Ceiling Target: 30,000 ft MSL Threshold: 20,000 ft MSL Loiter Altitude 15,000 ft AGL Main Design Requirements • Endurance • Target: 24 hours • Threshold: 14 hours • Range • Target: 100 nm to mission area • Threshold: 50 nm to mission area

  12. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Mission Profile 2 3 6 7 4 5 0 1 8 9 • 0-1 Taxi/Takeoff • 1-2 Climb to Cruise Altitude • 2-3 Cruise to Target • 3-4 Change to Loiter Altitude • 4-5 Loiter • 5-6 Change to Cruise Altitude • 6-7 Cruise to Runway • 7-8 Descend • 8-9 Land/Taxi

  13. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Trade Study Constants

  14. Trade Studies 5% Fuel Reserve AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07

  15. Trade Studies AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 5% Fuel Reserve

  16. Trade Studies AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 1% Fuel Reserve

  17. Trade Studies AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 1% Fuel Reserve

  18. AAE 451 - Team 1 - 2/20/07 Refined Sizing Studies Concept Selection Next Step • Payload Definition • Currently designing around AJCN, few details have been found • Alternate payload capabilities
