Overview of Future Aerial Sensor Needs
• In the past 5-10 years, we’ve made major strides on sensor production, fielding, and deployment primarily focused on current
operations:
- Growth in areas such as FMV, Geo-INT (WAAS, LIDAR), Hyper-spectral, Radar systems (DMTI), and COMINT
- PED and data dissemination becoming more critical to mission operations
- Many of the aerial sensors fielded and/or being fielded are based on Quick Reaction Capabilities (QRC) and Counter-Terrorism (CT)
Operations
- Many of our sensors face obsolescence and diminishing vendor issues
• Future Sensor investment and development with renewed focus on:
- Near peer threat (standoff) while maintaining effective CT capabilities
- Increasing capabilities - balance/reduce SWAP-C
- Multi-platform (not aircraft specific)
- Bandwidth impacts (BLOS is becoming the primary means of data distribution)
- Reliability, ease of use, and maintainability
• Potential near term (FY18-20) sensor efforts:
- EMARSS (LIDAR, Pennant Race replacement, WAAS, ELINT) – FY19/20
- Unmanned sensors (MFEW, Hyper-spectral, LIDAR, ELINT) - TBD
- GRCS (ELINT Tech Refresh) – FY18
- ARL-E objective capabilities (WAAS, LIDAR, FOPEN) – outside the near term
Program Sensor Modernization Year
GRCS ELINT Tech Refresh FY18
EMARSS COMINT (Pennant Race Replacement) FY19/20
EMARSS LIDAR FY19/20
Across Aerial Programs Support to Current Operations (~5000 flight hours/month) FY19

Summary
• PM SAI Sensors currently meeting the mission needs.
• Future gaps are approaching due to evolving threats and the use of dated technology.
• Investment is needed in sensor modernization to maintain relevance and mitigate obsolescence &
exposure issues.
• A more agile acquisition approach is necessary pace technology, threat, and remain operationally
relevant;
- Threat today = solution 4+ years POR
