sUAS Payloads for Collaboration Event: Innovative Methods for Precise Dissemination in Denied Areas

This overview document discusses the current limitations of traditional MISO systems and presents emerging capabilities for collaboration and collaboration in sUAS payloads. The document explores the use of loudspeakers, leaflet delivery, Internet of Things receivers, broadcasting systems, and camera/FMV capabilities on sUAS platforms. It also highlights the potential benefits of integrating FLIR/Skyraider in the Black Sea region.

Presentation Transcript

  1. sUAS-EOTACS Payloads Capability Collaboration Event 24 July 2019

  2. Overview • Current MISO systems are stand alone and disconnected • Reliant on traditional and historic methods • Large Air Drops • Mass terrestrial broadcast • Emerging airborne broadcast • One-way communication • Mostly focused on large scale distribution • sUAS offers precise dissemination in denied areas • Seeking methods for “feedback” and assessment

  3. Group 1: Loud Speaker, Leaflet Delivery, Internet of Things Receiver

  4. Loudspeaker • How we currently use loudspeakers • Mounted & dismounted (manpack) • End user device is an iPod touch or MP3 player transitioning to Note 8 (FCD-W) • Ability to connect with multiple speakers simultaneously for broader reach • Ability to stream pre-recorded messages or use a microphone in real-time • Airdroppable variant (scatterable media) in development • The current limitations of how we use them • Large, heavy devices with limited use in denied/restricted areas • How we envision the use of loudspeakers on sUAS platforms • Ideal for denied/restricted areas • Targeted messaging with range of volume controlled remotely • Maintains ability to stream re-recorded messages or broadcast a live message • Potential listen back capabilities

  5. Leaflet Delivery • How we currently deploy leaflets • C-130 & MRE box of 1800 + leaflets • B52 & PDU 5 full of paper leaflets • The current limitations of how we deploy them • Reliant on heavy airlift • Reliant on Army riggers and methods • How we envision the use of leaflet delivery on sUAS platforms • Payload on a UAS with container that drops physical leaflets & digital scatterable media • Intended for targeted messages to a small audiences; could deliver different messages to different areas

  6. Internet of Things Receiver • How we currently use IoT receivers • Currently no capability in existing MISO systems • The current limitations of how we use them • Future plan is dependent on integration into Multi-Mission Payload (in turn dependent on external air support) • Lack of Comms Architecture • How we envision the use of IoT receivers on sUAS platforms • Receiver integrated on a UAS platform with ability to collect metadata from hundreds of scatterable media sources at once • Relay/transmit data from Scatterable Media • LoRa provides a wider area network for scatterable media; GPS enabled

  7. Group 2: Broadcasting and Camera/FMV Capabilities

  8. Systems Capable of Broadcasting • How we currently use broadcast capable systems • Terrestrial: FM, TV, Cell • Future aerial: C-130, MQ-1C • Payload includes FM/AM, cellular text/robo call, digital Television • The current limitations of how we use them • Aircraft availability • Antenna size • Broadcast range can be limited based on aircraft weight/size limitations • How we envision the use of broadcast capable systems on sUAS platforms • FM broadcast of 25nm • TV broadcast of 15nm • Cellular broadcast range of 8nm

  9. Camera • How we currently use cameras • PSYOP teams carry mobile media kits for still and video footage • The current limitations of how we use them • Operator on-site manually taking photos/video streams • Reliant on face to face access to desired target area • How we envision the use of cameras/FMV on sUAS platforms • Useful for assessments and gathering material for message • Ability to transmit material for SA and media creation • Transferable to print/digital media that can run for min. 15 sec.

  10. Group 3: FLIR/Skyraider in Black Sea
