19 Guiding Principles With Industry Partners, AFRL will use the following Guiding Principles to Improve Development: Open Architectures Sensing as a Service Sensing Challenge Problems 19

20 Multi-INT aircraft agnostic ISR system - Addresses AFLCMC/WIN need - Based on ISR Gaps and AFISRA defined GEOINT requirements Affordable Open Systems for Multi-INT ISR Enhanced affordability and producibility - Reduced dependence on expensive QRC acquisition i i and sustainment - Reduced dependence on vertical supply chain for updates and improvements EO Sensor IR Sensor Multi INT Sensor Pod LIDAR Sensor HSI Sensor 20

21 Sensing as a Service Combines two powerful concepts of sensing and multi-user services Goals: Increase integration with warfighter & decision maker Span all echelons of operations Compress decision loops Support distributed teaming Make relevant information discoverable I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e
