Description
Anti-access Area Denial (A2AD) capabilities from peer threats render many aspects of current CONOPS inadequate.For example, our manned aircraft are projected to experience unacceptable attrition against peer IADS forces.The overall system concept of collaborative teams of smaller UAVs and manned-unmanned teams shows great promise for counteracting the A2AD threats and improving the cost-exchange ratios.There are many technical challenges to achieving this vision, here we focus on the fundamental challenge of rapid, remote, reliable classification of threats with limited bandwidth, computer and human resources.Without this capability, our warfighters will be at a severe disadvantage against sophisticated adversaries.
