Ground station (MOF)
• The Guardrail system has an unclassified range of 300NM from ground station, to target • The RC-12 is an all weather high altitude (30,000-35,000 ft)aircraft with a 4 to 5 hour mission time • The Guardrail flies multi-aircraft missions with 2-3 aircraft.
Target
150 NM150 NM
Guardrail / GRCSGuardrail / GRCS
• The unclassified collection footprint is a 150 NM radius from the aircraft geographic location• Of the six primary intelligence tasks (MI-METL) Guardrail provides:
•Peace time operations = Indications and Warnings•War time operations = Target Intelligence (Target Development / Support to Targeting)
150 NM(radius from aircraft)300NM diameter

Q: Where does the processing and reporting of intelligence occur within the Guardrail/GRCS
System?
A:Mission Operations Facility* (MOF)
Guardrail / GRCS IS
• Getting locations directly to the shooters that need it
• The number 1 tactical producer of SIGINT in theater
• Able to be dynamically re-tasked using multiple tracks to focus on specific target areas and AORS
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WE SAVE LIVES EVERY MISSION!
