- Increased Commonality: airframes, control stations, payloads, power sources- Cognitive Aiding Software- Survivable: on-board and “swarm” ASE- Lethal/Non-Lethal Payloads- All weather capability - Fully compliant sense and avoid
AH-64/OH-58D
UH-60/CH-47OPV S&T
Universal Ground Control Station + Universal OperatorsExtensive simulation training enabled = ARFORGEN-balanced UAS force structure
Cargo and/or Recon OPV capability
OSRVT TCDL
UGCSUGCS is backbone of an integrated network that permits accessto multiple UA’s operating across the area of operations. Enabled by a complex, individual and collective training simulation environment. User receives the mission package effects, UA type Is of little importance to the “customer.”
