The U.S. Air Force has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for its Next-Generation (Next-Gen) Multi-Role Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) Family of Systems (FoS).
Graphic: General Atomics
Three Focus Areas (FAs) were listed and the first area was to determine what type of sensors or sensor networks are out there that can “provide early warning and fire control quality track/ID of enemy air operations in highly contested and contested environments.”
The second focus is to determine whether the UAS has any “defensive counterair capabilities to protect High Value Airborne Assets from long-range enemy fighters and other kinetic and non-kinetic threats.”
The service wants to know survivable are these UAS and how quickly can it repair or swap sensors on these aircraft.
