Weapon and sensor payloads carried on Mojave UAS It reduces the workload of the operator of the UAS using automated check lists. The SC2 requires limited hardware and provides the functionalities of the conventional ground control station from the comfort of a laptop. GA-ASI has been testing the SC2 solution in partnership with the US Army. A laptop-based interface known as scalable command and control (SC2) system is planned to be used to operate the UAS. The Mojave UAS can be controlled right from the take-off until landing using a traditional ground control system managed by a single pilot. The advanced datalink provides line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond LOS (BLOS) capabilities. The aircraft is equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) and a satellite communication (SATCOM) datalink with anti-jam technologies to mitigate interference and jamming threats. The aircraft can support multi-domain operations (MDO). The quick weapons reload capability allows the aircraft to support the ground forces even from austere sites located near the battleground. It can provide armed support to the forces on ground. The Mojave UAS is designed to conduct long-endurance armed overwatch, armed reconnaissance, and attack missions. The avionics and flight control systems of Mojave are based on the systems of the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle-ER. It has an overall length of 29ft (9m), wingspan of 52ft (16m), and maximum gross take-off weight of 7,000lb (3,175kg). The aircraft has a payload carrying capacity of 3,600lb (1,633kg). The aircraft is expected to provide similar endurance and persistence as traditional crewed aircraft.

It can take-off from and land on remote semi-improved surfaces. It can support forward-basing operations as it does not require traditional paved runway. The Mojave UAS has reduced footprint and large wings that provide room for high-lift devices.
