| MARKET DEFINITION |
Unmanned Systems is a blended market which integrates four elements: Unmanned Air
Vehicles (UAV), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV), Unmanned Sea Vehicles (USV) and
their corresponding C2 systems. Unmanned systems include unclassified defense-related
unmanned, selfpropelled, aerial, terrestrial, sea-borne or submersible platforms. These
systems operate without a human being positioned on or within the vehicle, and their
operation is achieved through autonomous, remotely operated or tele-operated control.
