2.1.7 MQ-9 Predator B
User Service: Air Force
Manufacturer: General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc.
Inventory: 6 Delivered/60 Planned
Background: The MQ-9 is a medium-to-high altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft system. Its
primary mission is as a persistent hunter-killer for critical time sensitive targets and secondarily to act as
an intelligence collection asset. The MQ-9 system consists of four aircraft, a ground control station
(GCS), and a Predator Primary Satellite Link. The integrated sensor suite includes a moving targetcapable
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and a turret that houses electro-optical and mid wave infrared
sensors, a laser range finder, and a laser target designator. The crew for the MQ-9 is one pilot and one
sensor operator. The USAF proposed the MQ-9 system in response to the Department of Defense request
for Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) initiatives, in October 2001. In June 2003, Air Combat Command
(ACC) approved the MQ-9 Concept of Operations. The objective force structure includes nine combatcoded
systems and 36 aircraft. ACC approved the final basing decision to put the MQ-9 squadron at
Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field in February 2004.

2.1.8 Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems (J-UCAS)
User Service: Air Force and Navy
Manufacturers: Boeing, Northrop Grumman
Inventory: 2 X-45A Delivered, 1 X-47A Demonstrated/3 X-45C Planned, 3 X-47B Planned
Boeing X-45C (L) and Northrop Grumman X-47B (R) J-UCAS Demonstrators
Background: The Air Force UCAV and Navy UCAV-N demonstrator programs were combined into a
joint program under Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) management in FY04. First
flights of the original prototypes, the Boeing X-45A and the Northrop Grumman X-47A, occurred in May
2002 and February 2003, respectively. Testing of the two X-45As continues through September 2005.
First flights of the larger X-45C and X-47B models and introduction of a Common Operating System are
to occur in 2007. J-UCAS is focused on demonstrating a versatile combat network in which air and
ground components are nodes that can be changed over time to support a wide range of potential
missions. The program demonstrated weapon delivery and coordinated flight in 2004. Program
management responsibility is planned to transfer from DARPA to the Air Force in FY06.

2.1.9 Future Combat System (FCS)
User Service: Army
Manufacturer: The Boeing Company
Inventory: 0 Delivered/TBD Planned
Background: The Army’s FCS consists of 18 systems, 4 of them unmanned aircraft, that are expected to
appear in an experimental brigade in 2008 and reach IOC in 2014. TRADOC designated Raven as the
interim Class I UAV, an improved Shadow as the interim Class III UAV and Fire Scout as the Class IV
UAV in April 2004. A fifth UA category, Class IV B, has been created, requiring 24-hour endurance by a
single aircraft, perhaps the eventual ER/MP UA.
Characteristics:
Class I UAV Class II UAV Class III UAV Class IV UAV
