The US Air Force has awarded Lockheed Martin an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract to provide sustainment support for Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods (ATP) and LANTIRN navigation pods, the company announced on 20 June. The five-year contract is worth up to $200 million.
The contract will see the company support foreign military sales customers for the pods with repairs and returns, on-call technical support, depot activities and other sustainment efforts.
The Sniper ATP provides air-to-ground and air-to-air targeting and non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities for aircraft including the F-15, F-16, F-18, B-1, B-52, A-10 and F-2.
LANTIRN navigation pods provide low-level navigation with terrain-following radar on international F-15 and F-16 aircraft.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
