The evaluation, set to take place at Fort Bliss, Texas, over two weeks starting at the beginning of May, includes testing how well the C-UAS Mobile Integrated Capability (CMIC) works within the network and how it fares in the hands of soldiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army acknowledges the UAS threat will only grow as the systems become increasingly affordable and can be obtained through a few simple clicks on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We see that as kind of a poor man&#8217;s air force,&#8221; Michael Cochran, the Fires liaison officer at Fort Bliss, told Defense News April 26 as the NIE prepared to kick off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the C-UAS CMIC, &#8220;we can put a capability in soldiers&#8217; hands using existing equipment that they have, so really what we are doing is we are taking existing programs of record and repurposing it to give the ability to counter those UAS,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make its prototype, the Army selected a vehicle already used by the service&#8217;s fire support teams, the Q-53 Counterfire Target Acquisition Radar System and the Lightweight Laser Designator Rangefinder (LLDR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only piece of new equipment is Northrop Grumman&#8217;s Venom\u00a0mast, which\u00a0transmits Q-53 radar information and\u00a0supports the LLDR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army added the capability to track air vehicle threats to the Q-53 radar, which traditionally tracks rockets, artillery and mortars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The radar will detect a threat, send a signal to the vehicle\u00a0\u2014\u00a0through the mast, up to the LLDR\u00a0\u2014\u00a0which will slew on the target. The system is connected to the Army&#8217;s command and control systems. A soldier can then decide how to take out the target, according to Cochran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army&#8217;s C-UAS CMIC system is an example of what Pentagon officials and members of Congress alike want to see more \u2014 using what it has in innovative ways and taking the initiative to rapidly develop prototypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Mac Thornberry&#8217;s fiscal 2017 markup of the defense policy bill proposes giving each service the ability\u00a0through dedicated funding\u00a0to experiment more with prototypes and rapidly deploy weapon system components and other technologies without requiring those programs to be tied to existing major programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email:\u00a0<a
