L3Harris offers full-spectrum SIGINT pod for airborne platforms
L3Harris Technologies on 29 September launched a new airborne SIGINT pod called RASISR (standing for Rapid, Adaptable, Smart, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance).
The pod provides full-spectrum SIGINT (COMINT, ELINT and special signals) and high-tech sensor technologies for multiple platform types.
L3Harris claims RASISR is the only pod to host its full-spectrum SIGINT capability and other high-performance sensors for multiple platform types, including high-speed aircraft and business jets.
The new pod also enables increased ISR capacity and agility by adding sensor capability to traditionally non-ISR platforms such as transport, tanker and maritime aircraft, the company added.
Bill Irby, president of L3Harris Reconnaissance Mission Systems, said that RASISR provides ‘a low-cost, low-risk means to provide additional sensors and field capabilities to keep pace with requirements’.
