LAND 129 Phase 3
AAUS Capability Brief
Project Land 129 Phase 3 (L129-3) will replace and enhance the existing Shadow 200 v1 TUAS capability operated by 20th Surveillance and Target Acquisition Regiment (20 STA Regt). The project will grow the capability to provide a third sub-unit and provide an enduring capability effect that enables 24/7 intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) coverage in two separate focal areas. The TUAS capability should integrate with existing and future in-service systems in order to disseminate information and intelligence to the supported Land Commander

CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 3
Chief of Army’s Strategic Guidance 2019 – Army in Motion
Fused, synthesised and assured information for decision superiority will be an
essential battlefield enabler. The challenge is to collect, process and disseminate
this information at meaningful volume, speed and accuracy while protecting from
disruption and deception. Networking and integration between joint collectors,
processors, deciders and shooters will be critical to generate a system capable of
‘cooperative engagement’.

CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 12
Core task 1
• Core task 1 – ISR: surveillance. The ability to provide systematic observation
of specified areas, with multiple sensors, including visual, across the
electromagnetic spectrum. These sensors will enable operations by day, night
and in degraded visual environments. The TUAS specifically provides aerial
and long distance slant observation with minimal risk to operator personnel.
• So What:
– Payload flexibility
– 24/7 support to the Combat Brigade
– Range commensurate or better than Shadow 200
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 13
Core Task 2
• Core task 2 – Targeting: target detection. The TUAS will be required to
detect, recognise and identify targets and disseminate accurate data from the
ground control station to targeting systems. The TUAS capability may also
have the ability to disseminate target data to guide precision guided weapons
from fixed wing platforms and indirect fire assets onto targets.
• So What:
– Accurate target location provision (laser range finder)
– Timely target dissemination – Networked linkages to Joint Fires platforms
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 14
Core Task 3
• Core task 3 – Targeting: enhanced lethality. A Laser Target Designator will
provide target guidance for laser guided munitions released from other armed
platforms. Data link interoperability with the future ARH capability will enhance
targeting information for future ARH crews via Manned-Unmanned-
Teaming(MUM-T).
• So What:
– LTD required
– LAND 4503 interoperability linkage for Cooperative Engagement
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 15
Core Task 4
• Core task 4 – ISR: Intelligence support. The TUAS will send information that
has undergone a level of technical analysis from the GCS/ C2 element to the
Cbt Bde intelligence cell. This will enhance analytical efficiency and provide the
best effect for the Commander. This reduces the volume of information [for
example, FMV and data] being transmitted over various bearers because the
TUAS is performing preliminary analysis to ensure only the most salient
information is passed on.
• So What:
– Analysis conducted forward – Intelligence corps specialists embedded in the GCS
– Analysis tools required in the GCS, or even the Air Vehicle
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 16
Core Task 5
• Core task 5 – Organic support. The TUAS GCS will operate and move with the
Cbt Bde elements to enable the provision of timely and networked support to the
Commander. This may include the provision of voice and/or data communications
relay. This will require protected mobility for key ground vehicles and runway.
• So What:
– The TUAS will move and operate from protected mobility vehicles
– Mobile and Networked Communications
– Ability to manoeuvre with the Cbt Bde – Runway independent

L129-3 Scope
• Project Land 129 Phase 3 (L129-3) will replace and enhance the existing
Shadow 200 v1 TUAS capability operated by 20th Surveillance and Target
Acquisition Regiment (20 STA Regt). The project will grow the capability to
provide a third sub-unit (Battery) and provide an enduring capability effect
that enables 24/7 intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR)
coverage in two separate focal areas. The TUAS capability should integrate
with existing and future in-service systems in order to disseminate
information and intelligence to the supported Land Commander.
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 22
L129-3 Scope
• Each TUAS capability brick will comprise of a troop headquarters, an
operations team, a forward repair team and a combat services support node.
One TUAS capability brick is defined as the set of air vehicles, ground
elements and workforce required to provide 24/7 coverage of a single
area of interest for 24 hours/day and can be scaled up and down to meet the
operational requirement. Each TUAS capability brick will be mounted in
protected mobility vehicles to enable mobility and protection commensurate
with their supported dependencies, and will have sufficient personnel and
equipment to carry out its role.
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 23
Constraints - Workforce
• The Design of the TUAS Capability Brick and Crew Rest:
– Operator endurance. TUAS operators shall not exceed:
• 10 hours flying in a duty day
• 45 hours flying in any seven day period
• 180 hours flying in any 30 day period
• 1000 hours flying in any 12 month period.
– Crew rest:
• TUAS operators shall have at least a 10 hour continuous rest period
• After 10 consecutive days of flying, TUAS operators shall have a 24 hour continuous rest
period.
• We can design the people and in-service equipment. Part of any tender activity
will be the design of the equipment provisioning to support the Capability Brick.

• The Capability Brick design is iterative.
• It will ultimately be informed by industry.
• It is workforce constrained (30-35 pers).
• It must perform all-corps Army functions:
– Defend
– Sustainment (Eat, Sleep, Move)
– Communicate
– Command and Control
• It must perform other TUAS non-flying functions:
– Data Analysis
– Data dissemination
– Maintenance
– Supply
– Plan
• Should be Modular
• Should be Scalable
– Up and down
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 25

– Operational maintenance must not require a Field Service Representative
• Deeper Maintenance
– Contracted through overhaul of removed components
– Some Australian-based capability
• Supply
– Utilise existing supply chains, especially for Government Furnished Vehicles and Equipment
– The contractor will be heavily responsible for TUAS Unique Equipment supply to meet flying
outcomes.
• Engineering
– Engineering support will be contracted to a significant extent.
CAPABILITY ACQUISITION AND SUSTAINMENT GROUP 27
TUAS Training Concepts
• Introduction-into-Service Training
– Contracted solution to bring the system into service
– Elements of the training will be supplemented by ADF training (e.g. driver courses)
• Sustainment Training
– Elements of sustainment training may be contracted.
• Simulation will be an important part of training, including Individual and Mission
specific training.
• The Project invites Industry to consider how training is best achieved for L129-
3.
