Phase two of Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Deep Sensing and Targeting (DSaT) system was successfully demonstrated at Vanguard 24, an annual capstone experiment hosted by the U.S. Army, the company announced October 21. DSaT gathers space-based data for long-range precision fires while airborne, helping bridge specific capability gaps and future warfighting requirements by expanding mission effectiveness and standoff range for Army platforms.
Pablo Pezzimenti, vice president, integrated national systems, Northrop Grumman, said, “DSaT demonstrates our capability to move data at the speed of future warfare to best support the warfighter’s targeting needs while not bound by land or sea. Delivering space-based data to an aircraft enhances the flexibility to process, exploit and distribute intelligence for faster decision making when every moment matters.”
Leveraging Northrop Grumman’s tactical edge portfolio, DSaT provides intelligence collection reaching beyond the visual line of sight of local sensors and integrates data into a civilian aircraft. Sponsored by the Department of the Army Headquarters G-2’s Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Task Force, phase two of DSaT aligns with the Army’s High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) platform to provide a deep sensing capability for the warfighter. When combined with HADES, DSaT is positioned to support a mission roadmap that offers a complete solution for ISR and target nomination. Phase one of DSaT was previously demonstrated at EDGE 23.
