Chapter 3 Extended Duration 3-33. Extended-duration missions are maintained for longer than 24 hours. Units may have to coordinate for supplies, augmentation, and other support needed based on mission variables. This may include Class IV materials or additional engineer support, obstacles, dedicated quick-reaction forces (QRF), and other support that allows the unit or OPs to operate for an indefinite period of time. INTEGRATION OF SENSORS 3-34. Current and emerging sensor technology enables reconnaissance units to detect and identify targets at increased distances. Sensors provide the troop with early warning and help limit exposure to threat reconnaissance and acquisition systems. This capability provides the troop with maximum standoff range and allows the commander to make timely decisions. 3-35. Despite the continual evolution of sophisticated sensors and collection assets, SA will not be perfect. This is true in periods of limited visibility or adverse weather. Uncertainty will always be present in the AO. Thus, the scout remains the most important information-gathering asset in the IBCT. The commander must fully integrate the troop’s personnel and organic sensors in a complementary manner. 3-36. The primary sensor system organic to the DRT is a SUAS. The troop may also receive additional support from squadron and higher echelon assets. 3-37. The squadron staff and troop commander use a variety of reconnaissance management methods such as cueing, mixing, redundancy, and task organization. (See Table 3-3.) They do this in an attempt to use limited assets most effectively and to collect the most critical information with the fewest assets as quickly as possible. (For detailed information on reconnaissance management refer to FM 3-90.) Table 3-3. DRT reconnaissance management Cueing Mixing Redundancy The integration of one or more types of reconnaissance or surveillance systems to provide information that directs follow- on collection of more detailed information by another system. Using two or more different assets to collect against the same information requirement. Using two or more like assets to collect against the same information requirement. Task Organization The placing of additional assets under the control of the DRT. SMALL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM 3-38. Small unmanned aircraft system operations support the DRT commander as he plans, coordinates, and executes operations, providing reconnaissance capabilities to enhance his SA. An Army SUAS can also perform acquisition, detection, designation, and battle damage assessment (BDA) to improve targeting. The troop has an organic SUAS, but can also have direct access to real time or near real time feeds from additional SUAS support provided by the squadron, IBCT, or a higher headquarter. Missions 3-39. Small unmanned aircraft systems are capable of locating and recognizing threats forces, moving vehicles, weapon systems, and other targets that contrast with their surroundings. In addition, SUASs are capable of locating and confirming the position of friendly forces and the presence of noncombatant civilians. Small unmanned aircraft systems can support ground units in the following missions: Reconnaissance. Surveillance. 3-6 ATTP 3-20.97 16 November 2010
Capabilities Target acquisition. BDA. Reconnaissance Operations 3-40. Small unmanned aircraft systems bring numerous capabilities to the DRT, providing near real time reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition. They can be employed throughout the AO. Employed as a team, SUASs, and manned systems provide excellent reconnaissance and security capabilities. Small unmanned aircraft systems provide the following additional capabilities (see Chapter 7, Enablers, Other Intelligence Assets, for details on the SUASs.): Support target acquisition of threat forces. Assist area surveillance. Locate threat elements and help determine their composition, disposition, and activity. Maintain contact with threat forces from initial contact through BDA. Provide target coordinates with enough accuracy to enable immediate target handover, as well as first-round fire-for-effect engagements. Provide or enhance multispectral sensor coverage of the AO. Provide information to manned systems, thus increasing survivability and cueing. Reduce or eliminate exposure time of manned systems in high-risk environments. Provide an extended three-dimensional vantage, both in distance and time, at critical decision points in difficult terrain. Perform decoy, demonstration, feint, and deception operations. Support mission duration beyond the capability of manned reconnaissance. Provide digital connectivity, allowing for rapid dissemination of information. Limitations 3-41. Small unmanned aircraft systems are an excellent force multiplier, especially employed as part of an overall collection plan that takes advantage of their capabilities. At the same time, they have limited effectiveness in locating threat forces that are well covered or concealed. The SUASs are not well suited for wide-area surveillance. Other limitations include the following: Vulnerability to enemy fire. Significant audio signature. Weather restrictions (such as cloud cover and turbulence). Requirement to maintain LOS to ground control stations. Limited frequencies for SUAS control. Air space C2 issues. Limited sensor field of view. Limited detection capability in areas of heavy vegetation. Unique supply requirements. Assembly area survivability. Launch and recovery criteria. Weather conditions. Small Unmanned Aircraft System Planning Considerations 3-42. Planning for SUAS operations should include the following: Deconflict with the squadron S2/S3 and fires support element request for SUAS missions. Unit AO. Mission statement. Time window for the SUAS mission. Reconnaissance objective. 16 November 2010 ATTP 3-20.97 3-7
