UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE BATTLELAB
Mission
The mission of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Battlelab (UAVB) is to work with the warfighters and identify problems that can be solved using innovative UAV/Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) solutions. The battlelab is based at Creech Air Force Base, Nev., and is assigned to Air Combat Command's USAF Warfare Center.
The UAVB team works with industry, academia and our National/Service labs to find solutions to warfighter problems, demonstrate those solutions, make an objective decision on their military utility and then work to transition the initiative to the warfighter.
To accomplish our mission, we pursue high return initiatives with the goal of conducting each initiative with minimal investment and maximum impact to warfighter's UAV/RPA organizations, doctrine, training and future requirements and acquisitions.
Divisions
The UAV Battlelab Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Division analyzes existing and emerging technologies for integration into Joint UAV systems with effects-based emphasis on ISR operations, to include radar, video, laser designation and other ISR systems. The division manages evolutionary and revolutionary initiatives demonstrating enhanced UAV ISR capabilities. Each initiative is focused on moving successfully demonstrated technology from the battlelab to the warfighter. Finally, the ISR Division serves as an Advisory group to ACC and Air Staff on UAV ISR issues.
The UAV Battlelab Combat Applications Division analyzes existing and emerging technologies for integration into Joint UAV systems with effects-based emphasis on kill chain operations, to include weaponization, sensor delivery, and electronic warfare (EW) systems. With this in mind, the division manages evolutionary and revolutionary initiatives to demonstrate enhanced UAV attack and targeting capabilities. Incorporated in to the initiative plan is a detailed roadmap to move successful initiatives from the battlelab to acquisition or operational status. These initiatives are then transitioned to UAVs in a combat environment in support of the warfighter. Additionally, the Combat Applications Division serves as an Advisory group to ACC and Air Staff on UAV weapon-related issues.
The Integration Division analyzes existing and emerging technologies for integration into Joint UAV systems with emphasis on service and joint applicability. With this in mind, the division manages evolutionary and revolutionary initiatives to demonstrate enhanced UAV capabilities. Incorporated into the initiative plan is a detailed roadmap to move successful initiatives from the battlelab to acquisition or operational status. These initiatives are then transitioned to UAVs in support of compelling warfighter needs. Finally, the Integration Division serves as an Advisory group to ACC and Air Staff on joint or service UAV-related issues.
