UAV Under Comanche Control
w/ Manual Waypoint Navigation
Issue 1: What military worth and utility is gained by a
maneuver force having TUAV and manned aircraft teams as a tactical reconnaissance asset?
Issue 2: How does manned and unmanned teaming effect the flow of information and communication critical links necessary for effective tactical reconnaissance?
Issue 3: To what extent does the MUM team effect tactical reconnaissance tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP)?
Issue 4: What are the command and control (C2) and
organizational issues associated with aerial MUM teaming?
- Continued investigation is needed to assess the advantages of providing a technology solution, which would allow the manned system crew to control the UAV sensors and platform operations
- Case 2: Provided visual information from the UAV to the cockpit of the manned system. This information was effectively used to increase the effectiveness and
survivability of the team.
- Case 3: Provided for manual control of the UAV sensor payload and simulated control of the platform operations by the manned system crew. This capability could not be effectively used to conduct the missions.
