Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) – Thematic Intelligence

Pages: 35 Published: May 09, 2023 Report Code: GDDEF-TR-S071

Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) Thematic Intelligence Report Overview

Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) denotes the homogenous employment of heterogenous aerial assets, namely traditional manned platforms, and unmanned platforms, within individual combat units. The MUM-T concept seeks to enable human operators leverage the inherent benefits of both manned and unmanned platforms simultaneously, thus creating a multi-role and adaptive airborne force. The US and various other militaries have already begun testing the pairing of various unmanned assets with different types of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. The emergence of MUM-T capabilities has been enabled by various technological advances such as advanced data link solutions which allow for data to be exchanged between different types of airborne assets without a traditional Ground Control Station (GCS).

The MUM-T thematic intelligence report provides an understanding of the market challenges and opportunities surrounding the MUM-T theme. The report will also help to comprehend how spending on MUM-T technology will fit into the overall market and which spending areas are being prioritized.

MUM-T – Trends

The main trends shaping the MUM-T theme over the next 12 to 24 months are categorized into technology trends, macroeconomic trends, and regulatory trends.

Technology trends: The key technology trends impacting the MUM-T theme are innovation in technologies such as Transnational interoperability, ABMS, and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2).

Macroeconomic trends: The key macroeconomic trends impacting the MUM-T theme are focus on geopolitical drivers, rising procurement and defense sector R&D costs, and nascent MUM-T doctrine.

Regulatory trends: The key regulatory trend impacting the MUM-T theme are ‘killer’ robots. A key issue in the development of MUM-T aircraft is the potential for AI-driven platforms to be empowered to make decisions and act upon them in a way that may result in the loss of life.

MUM-T – Industry Analysis

One of the earliest iterations of MUM-T techniques was deployed by the US Army aboard the AH-64D Longbow Apache helicopter gunship. The Apache Block II demonstrated video transmission to the One System Remote Video Terminal (OSRVT) via the Efficient Tactical Common Data Link (TCDL). The TCDL enables the Apache to send and receive video and metadata.

The Apache is currently using the Visual User Interface Tool-2 (VUIT-2) system in theatre with outstanding results. The VUIT-2 system can transmit both Apache and UAS video to the infantry units equipped with OSRVTs. VUIT-2 facilitates positive target identification for soldiers on the ground with reduced situational awareness, and once the target is confirmed the Apache aircrew can engage it with the appropriate weapon systems.
