UAS ROADMAP 2005 Range Transporter (ALERT) ACTDs. The CQ-10 became operational in 2005, addressing a USSOCOM Operation Capability Requirement dating back to 1996 and recurrent IPL priorities. Its six cargo bins can also be used to deliver resupplies. Although the CQ-10 can take off from the ground and can fly roundtrip psyops missions, it is primarily a one-way delivery system when used for resupply. A second UA project, Skytote, was a joint AFSOC and AFRL SBIR effort with AeroVironmnet to develop a returnable VTOL UA for the resupply mission. The requirements for the aerial delivery/resupply mission by UA--payload capacity, low signature, and precision, unaided 'spot' landing capability--differ from the emphasis placed on endurance and sensors for most other UA. Besides the obvious requirement for a high payload fraction (41 percent of gross weight for the CQ-10), USSOCOM's needs require a low probability of detection to avoid compromising the presence of the SOF team in denied regions, all-weather/night operation, precision landing to allow delivery to small SOF boats or into confined spaces, unaided landing to avoid imposing added training or compromising emissions, good standoff range to ensure aircrew safety, and low cost to allow for disposal if one-way resupply is tasked. In addition to USSOCOM, both the Army and Marine Corps have explored using UA to deliver material in high threat/risk environments. The Army's Medical Corps examined employing small UA to deliver urgent medical supplies to forward areas in a recent ACTD (Quick Meds). The Marine Corps converted a K-Max helicopter to unmanned operation for its Broad-area Unmanned Responsive Resupply Operations (BURRO) project that tested ship-to-shore and ship-to-ship resupply in 2000-2002. Both projects demonstrate that, as forces transition to being more mobile and independent (i.e., less tied to traditional logistics chains), UA offer a viable solution to their accompanying requirement for just-in-time logistics. Aerial delivery/resupply summary. Covert delivery of supplies into denied areas certainly qualifies as an ideal mission for UA under the 'dangerous' rubric. The mission requirements to fly low and quietly to avoid detection over significant standoff distances and land unaided and precisely can be met with available technologies. Future technology could best be applied to reducing such systems' probability of detection. In the larger sense, UA could serve as a transformation enabler for the focused logistics needed by future forces. APPENDIX A – MISSIONS Page A-9
