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.
