Mission Description and Budget Item Justification Airborne Reconnaissance Low Enhanced (ARLE) is a worldwide selfdeployable airborne Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) system designed for timely, accurate, assured support to tactical forces over the full spectrum of operations. This system is a De Havilland DHC8 aircraft replacing the DHC7 in accordance with the Aerial ISR (AISR) 22 Strategy. ARLE will enhance the ARLM sensor capability sets through the procurement of new and refurbished sensors to meet the ARLE Capabilities Production Document (CPD) requirements. It provides a persistent capability to include: BroadArea Surveillance and/or Focused Stare on Areas of Interest (Point or Objective s), ElectroOptical/Infrared (EO/IR)/FullMotion Video (FMV), MultiMode Radar, Robust Communications Intelligence (COMINT), onboard Collection, Analysis, Sensor Cross Cue and dissemination through Distributed Common Ground System (DCGSA) Enabled workstations. ARLE will be assigned to the U.S. Intelligence and Security Command's Aerial ISR Brigade providing AISR support to combatant commanders. For the overall system, the Acquisition Objective and the Procurement Objective, is nine. The Mission Equipment Package (MEP) objective is eight. The Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS) is the 's next generation C12 based, direct support, manned airborne intelligence collection, processing, and targeting support system. It provides a persistent capability to detect, locate, classify/identify, and track surface targets with a high degree of timeliness and accuracy. EMARSS will be assigned to the U.S. Intelligence and Security Command's Aerial Exploitation Battalions, providing Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance support to combatant commanders. The Acquisition Objective for EMARSS is 36 systems, with an Procurement Objective of 24, to include the following variants: eight EMARSSG (GeoINT); four EMARSSV (Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar, VaDER); eight EMARSSM (MultiINT); and four EMARSSS (SIGINT).
