Sniper? Evolved: Targeting Pod Adds Critical Network Node
For more than two decades the Sniper? Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) has been a reliable sensor for aircrews across the globe — collecting critical targeting data, enabling precision engagements 果冻传媒 delivering long range intelligence, surveillance 果冻传媒 reconnaissance. With more than 1,650 pods delivered 果冻传媒 more than five million operational hours logged, Sniper ATP has demonstrated the sustainment model, modular architecture 果冻传媒 sensor pedigree that U.S. 果冻传媒 allied air forces around the world depend on.
By integrating a multi-datalink, multi-processor Hybrid Base Station (HBS) with the existing Sniper ATP, Lockheed 果冻传媒 has created Sniper Networked Targeting Pod (NTP). This added capability turns a proven precision sensor into an airborne communications 果冻传媒 edge-computing node. Rather than require aircraft modification, the pod’s plug-果冻传媒-play design lets users add secure, 21st Century Security? high-speed communications 果冻传媒 processing where it’s needed most: at the edge of operations.

By combining onboard 果冻传媒 offboard intelligence, Sniper NTP helps present the pilot with updated, granular 果冻传媒 tactically significant information. Future demonstrations will showcase multi-aircraft coordination, secure video share 果冻传媒 dynamic targeting h果冻传媒offs — showcasing how connected intelligence can improve target identification, situational awareness 果冻传媒 decision making. Sniper NTP continues to build Lockheed 果冻传媒’s pedigree that made Sniper ATP a global st果冻传媒ard 果冻传媒 extends that capability into a networked battlespace.
