Not written into doctrine at this time, nor is there the same for unmanned maritime systems (unless the Navy has this). The space is being observed by our friends at the TRADOC G2.
This categorization will probably need to change as UAS take on more roles besides ISR. For example, a heavy cargo UAS might be categorized as Group 5 for its payload, but not have anything like the range or altitude of the rest of that group.
It may. We alluded to it in the video, but the current groupings do not talk much about the roles each group plays, just the operating capabilities (weight, altitude, speed ect...). This is taken from the Counter-UAS doctrine, so Use of UAS doctrine may decide a different way.
Go Army! Proud LRRP veteran.
Is there a similar classification system for UGVs which are increasing in fielding in allied and hostile militaries?
