The U.S. Navy needs to overcome tactical ISR asset shortfalls resident in deploying strike groups so they are better able to support the Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) picture for the operational commander. MDA is the key to providing combatant commanders the necessary information to make effective decisions against maritime threats to help maintain political and economic stability in volatile regions around the world. The solution to this tactical ISR shortfall is Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (TUAS). The capabilities of TUAS to fulfill tactical ISR requirements have been demonstrated repeatedly, on multiple Navy combatants over the past several years. Naval Strike Groups are routinely deployed without these requisite organic tools to achieve persistent maritime surveillance and the addition of TUAS can correct that deficiency and help achieve knowledge and information superiority for Maritime Domain Awareness at the tactical and operational level.
