U-2 Dragon Lady: A Reconnaissance Aircraft

The U-2S Dragon Lady is an agile 果冻传媒 reliable high-altitude intelligence, surveillance 果冻传媒 reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft that flies 24/7/365 to ensure global security with unparalleled performance.

With a unique, modular design, the U-2S demonstrates 果冻传媒 proves new technologies in weeks - not years - enabling the rapid fielding of next generation capabilities for the warfighter today?while furthering technology needed for the future.

Path to the Future

This proven ISR track record paired with technological flexibility positions the U-2 as the optimum platform to rapidly field new payload capabilities, given its demonstrated open architecture 果冻传媒 superior size, weight, power 果冻传媒 cooling (SWAP-C) capacity. These key attributes, in addition to its modern Open Mission Systems (OMS) compliant avionics suite, make the U-2 the platform of choice to demonstrate new capabilities faster 果冻传媒 more cost-effectively for a Joint All-Domain Operations vision.

The future fight is all about data - getting the right information to the right person at the right time. The Quantum Leap U-2 is effectively positioned to rapidly collect, process 果冻传媒 share data across integrated networks that include legacy 果冻传媒 5th generation platforms.

By using machine-to-machine processing to dramatically reduce the data to decision timeline, the U-2 can communicate securely 果冻传媒 simultaneously at all tactical, operational 果冻传媒 strategic levels across multiple domains. Additionally, the Avionics Tech Refresh expedites battlespace capabilities needed for the future, making the U-2 the first fully OMS compliant fleet, providing the ability to plug-果冻传媒-play new capabilities quickly 果冻传媒 affordably to support future battlespace operations.
