Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Systems

More than 70 years of experience in airborne isr and electronic warfare

Capabilities

  • Multi-domain SIGINT – aperture-to-enterprise solutions
  • Processing, exploitation & dissemination
  • USAF DCGS Common Intelligence Collection System
  • Airborne, ground-based, manned and unmanned SIGINT payloads and podded SIGINT solutions

INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS

Within the airborne domain, we are focused on both medium-altitude and high-altitude capabilities. Current integrated applications are available ranging from business jet class Strategic Airborne ISR to small, manned aircraft as well as unmanned aircraft.

Integrated Solutions
  • Integrated on-board your platform for dedicated SIGINT and multi-INT configurations
  • Enables integration of larger systems such as: 

    BlackRock™ COMINT SYSTEM

    BlackRock offers a scalable SIGINT capability in small to large commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based footprints. Sized for three operators and up, the open architecture BlackRock system is fully scalable in terms of frequency range, number of parallel channels, and number of tuner assets. LEARN MORE: BlackRock™

  • Supports multiple onboard and remote operators via satellite or line-of-sight communications

SCALABLE OPEN ARCHITECTURE RECONAISSANCE (SOAR™)

Scalable Open Architecture Reconnaissance

SOAR integrates industry-leading, full-band SIGINT capability with a medium-altitude, long-endurance Predator B wing-mounted pod, offering unparalleled options for warfighters in the ISR domain. A new dimension for remotely piloted aircraft, SOAR provides significant mission expansion for Predator B operations against threats in new operating domains.

  • Hosted in General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. SPIDI pod
  • Flight tested and currently flying
  • Only full spectrum SIGINT capability available for Predator B
