Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Using Uncrewed Systems
We want to increase electromagnetic resilience and lower signatures to hide our personnel and assets from enemy forces. We also want to identify or exploit enemy signals to gain intelligence of their operations. We want to hear from you about the current commercially available electromagnetic solutions that can be optimized for use in a variety of uncrewed systems.
Defend Against Adversary Uncrewed Systems
This discussion will explore uncrewed payloads that detect and track enemy systems, and can neutralize them at various ranges to protect a moving or stationary friendly force. We want to increase the detection and engagement range beyond the capability of stationary or carried systems. Solutions can include, but are not limited to, the use of energy or physical and electronic protection.
Resilient Positioning and Navigation
We need assured navigation, position, and timing systems to ensure accurate navigation when signals are jammed or degraded. We'll also talk about how to create false signals or degrade information networks to hide our locations while protecting ourselves from location spoofing.
Testing and Evaluation of Uncrewed Assets
We want to be able to demonstrate key operations of uncrewed systems, such as reacting to obstacles or other uncrewed systems, firing or avoiding fire, detection and identification of targets, and other realistic scenarios. This breakout will focus on how we can verify and enhance capabilities of payloads, navigation, detection, or other system components through testing in a relevant environment.
Using Uncrewed Systems for Medical Operations and Evacuation
The Army is looking for uncrewed solutions to assist with casualty identification, location, assessment, securement, and transport. New solutions could also include the ability to recommend triage, methods of transportation, or conduct an evacuation. The technology should give leadership the freedom to decide how to handle a medical emergency. This could include keeping Soldiers out of the combat zone while still ensuring they're in the loop, or sending trained individuals onto the battlefield to respond. In this discussion, we will identify the technology requirements to assist with medical assessments and evacuation to reduce Soldier risk.
