7. ISR Future Needs and Requirements • The Intelligence BOS • Sensor presence everywhere on the battlefield -- anytime, anyplace, regardless of environment • UAV and Manned Unmanned Teaming • Greater sensor optical capabilities to enhance target detection/recognition and identification; able to see thru environmental or man-made obscurants • Enhanced data compression for AV/GCS/AV to aircraft links to speed Intel product dissemination to the cockpit • Enhanced processing for a quicker turn around of the Intel product • Reduced Target Location Error (TLE) to increase targeting capability and ability to attack from greater distances • Automated (and aided) target detection and recognition • Enhanced laser capabilities: range finding, target designation, illumination/pointing • Distributed sensor control/data fusion, common display • Aided/automated sensor cross-cueing • Advanced sensor technologies (SIGINT, MASINT, CBRNE, support to assured mobility) • Training program that educates the Warfighter on UAVS and MUM capabilities Reliant on a robust communications network

Green Yellow Red Manned Platform Advantages: • Early Entry Self-Deployable • Payload Weight Capacity and Power Requirements • Operating Altitude • No Weather Restrictions • Endurance • Most Cost Effective • Less Forward Footprint Balkans NEA WX Condition RED YELLOW Clouds Unmanned YELLOW YELLOW Icing 31% YELLOW RED Precipitation 51% ProjectedGlobal HawkWith IMINT Payloads >$48M GREEN YELLOW Turbulence Manned YELLOW GREEN Icing GREEN GREEN Obscuration Acceptable flying conditions likely more than 50% of the year Degraded conditions (not abort) likely more than 30% of the year Abort conditions likely more than 50% of the year 52 Cannot Replace Manned With Unmanned Platforms • SEC AF Challenge to Northrop Grumman: • Provide Global Hawk Intelligence Collection “Parity” With the U-2 • Issue: Global Hawk Payload Capacity = ½ the Capacity of the U-2 • Options: - Build 2 Global Hawk Fleets (SIGINT/IMINT) - Cost Prohibitive • - Build a Larger Global Hawk – Cost Prohibitive
