FIGURE C-3. PREDATOR REMOTE SPLIT OPERATIONS.<br />

DoD needs a new radio development process to improve flexibility and interoperability, and to streamline<br />

logistic support to DoD radios across the defense enterprise.<br />

Lessons Learned<br />

UA operations in Afghanistan and Iraq highlighted and validated the following needs:<br />

� Real time and near real time video broadcast<br />

� Real time secure collaborative communications<br />

• Voice over IP<br />

• Voice telephone<br />

• SIPRNET chat<br />

� Access to systems data, independent <strong>of</strong> system control, available to a large number <strong>of</strong> users<br />

� SATCOM reach back for BLOS command and control and product dissemination<br />

Broad experience with military radios and joint operations highlighted the need for an enterprise wide<br />

approach to the development and fielding <strong>of</strong> interoperable, s<strong>of</strong>tware defined radios based on a common<br />

set <strong>of</strong> hardware components.<br />

VISION<br />

The vision for UA communications takes into account the documented need for broadband, broad based,<br />

seamless information sharing and the lessons learned from operational experience. This section will<br />

outline the UA communications themes, highlight and describe the current programs and DoD initiatives<br />

that most directly impact UA communications, provide a functional model for modularized UA design,<br />

and identify impediments to achieving net-centricity. The vision for UA communications is an evolution<br />

from a dedicated circuit to a web enabled interface over the next 10-15 years. Figure C-4 illustrates this<br />

vision.
