Description

The Navy seeks to standardize key interfaces for command and control, payload integration, and onboard processing for small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). This effort aims to reduce redundant engineering, training, and sustainment costs associated with proprietary small UAS, while enabling interoperability for future air-to-air and air-to-ground communications within the Navy and Marine Corps. The project involves developing SUAS Reference Implementation Prototypes to demonstrate these standardized interfaces, modular payload flexibility, streamlined cybersecurity, and integration with evolving UAS communication architectures.
