Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS) and Air Launched Effects (ALE)

摘要

If conflict does come, they will employ multiple layers of stand-off in all domains to separate our forces in time, space, and function in an attempt to defeat us.Our adversaries have established a robust Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) capability. One of Army Aviation's significant missions, in conjunction with the rest of the Joint Combined Arms Force, is to find or create a gap and negate this capability. To prevail we must penetrate and disintegrate the threat's A2AD systems and exploit the resultant freedom of maneuver to defeat their systems, formations and objectives so as to achieve our own strategic objectives.Within our innovative modernization strategy there are two prominent and complementary systems that address this mission set and provide reach, survivability and lethality-Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System (FTUAS) and Air Launched Effects (ALE).
