Sensors

LORAN uses low-frequency radio signals and originally had a range of about 1,500 miles.

The modular system allows the sensors to be modified for a variety of missions, allowing flexibility without having to remove the sensor and mount a different one.

To counteract defenses, the military use redundant systems and other tools.

KEO will develop a slimmer version of its photonics mast for Virginia-class submarines.

The program’s goal is to field an adaptive airborne electronic warfare system within five years.

Using a field of light, the sensor can find debris in space as small as .01 centimeters.

The fleet has several different thermal imaging devices and sensor systems that can track an IR signature already, but none of them can identify the threat level of the designated target.

The four AWACS aircraft were given a Mid-life Upgrade by Boeing.

The contract calls for 72 MQ-9 Block 20A Lynx synthetic aperture radar (SAR) retrofit kits.
