1. sUAS-EOTACS Payloads Capability Collaboration Event
24 July 2019

2. Overview Current MISO systems are stand alone and disconnected
Reliant on traditional and historic methods
Large Air Drops
Mass terrestrial broadcast
Emerging airborne broadcast
One-way communication
Mostly focused on large scale distribution
sUAS offers precise dissemination in denied areas
Seeking methods for “feedback” and assessment

3. Group 1: Loud Speaker, Leaflet Delivery, Internet of Things Receiver

4. Loudspeaker How we currently use loudspeakers
Mounted & dismounted (manpack)
End user device is an iPod touch or MP3 player transitioning to Note 8 (FCD-W)
Ability to connect with multiple speakers simultaneously for broader reach
Ability to stream pre-recorded messages or use a microphone in real-time
Airdroppable variant (scatterable media) in development
The current limitations of how we use them
Large, heavy devices with limited use in denied/restricted areas
How we envision the use of loudspeakers on sUAS platforms
Ideal for denied/restricted areas
Targeted messaging with range of volume controlled remotely
Maintains ability to stream re-recorded messages or broadcast a live message
Potential listen back capabilities

5. Leaflet Delivery How we currently deploy leaflets
C-130 & MRE box of leaflets
B52 & PDU 5 full of paper leaflets
The current limitations of how we deploy them
Reliant on heavy airlift
Reliant on Army riggers and methods
How we envision the use of leaflet delivery on sUAS platforms
Payload on a UAS with container that drops physical leaflets & digital scatterable media
Intended for targeted messages to a small audiences; could deliver different messages to different areas

6. Internet of Things Receiver
How we currently use IoT receivers
Currently no capability in existing MISO systems
The current limitations of how we use them
Future plan is dependent on integration into Multi-Mission Payload (in turn dependent on external air support)
Lack of Comms Architecture
How we envision the use of IoT receivers on sUAS platforms
Receiver integrated on a UAS platform with ability to collect metadata from hundreds of scatterable media sources at once
Relay/transmit data from Scatterable Media
LoRa provides a wider area network for scatterable media; GPS enabled

7. Group 2: Broadcasting and Camera/FMV Capabilities

8. Systems Capable of Broadcasting
How we currently use broadcast capable systems
Terrestrial: FM, TV, Cell
Future aerial: C-130, MQ-1C
Payload includes FM/AM, cellular text/robo call, digital Television
The current limitations of how we use them
Aircraft availability
Antenna size
Broadcast range can be limited based on aircraft weight/size limitations
How we envision the use of broadcast capable systems on sUAS platforms
FM broadcast of 25nm
TV broadcast of 15nm
Cellular broadcast range of 8nm

9. Camera How we currently use cameras
PSYOP teams carry mobile media kits for still and video footage
The current limitations of how we use them
Operator on-site manually taking photos/video streams
Reliant on face to face access to desired target area
How we envision the use of cameras/FMV on sUAS platforms
Useful for assessments and gathering material for message
Ability to transmit material for SA and media creation
Transferable to print/digital media that can run for min. 15 sec.

10. Group 3: FLIR/Skyraider in Black Sea
