Lockheed Martin is transforming the world’s most combat-proven electro-optical targeting system into an airborne communication and edge-computing node to enable joint all-domain operations.
The addition of advanced radio and datalink technology will securely connect 4th Generation aircraft to 5th Generation fighters, mobile artillery systems, and other assets at 5G+ speeds.
- 5G.MIL™ Hybrid Base Station for universal interoperability
- Secure, encrypted data
- Radio and datalink for mesh networking and 5th-to-4th Generation aircraft communication
- Open architecture standards
Combat-Proven Sniper® Pod Reimagined For 21st Century Security
The networked battlespace will run on information, much of it shared by aircraft sensor systems.
Why Sniper?
Flexible architecture within the selfcontained pod lets users quickly add new capabilities
Connecting Allies
