BAE Systems to provide TSP systems to US Army
BAE Systems has received an order for the initial production of 12 Tactical Signals Intelligence Payload (TSP) sensors for the US Army, the company announced on 5 May.
The order is part of an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract potentially worth $70 million. It covers the 12 TSP systems as well as engineering support services.
The TSP Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) system will help provide intelligence for the army and Special Operations Command by intercepting signals, known broadly as Signal Intelligence, or SIGINT capability. Developed by BAE Systems to allow warfighters to see the big picture with intel from the US Army's MQ-1C Gray Eagle UAS, the TSP will also be adaptable to other manned and unmanned aerial platforms.
The TSP system has an open software-defined architecture and the ability to capture a 360-degree aerial field of view. The ground team can use the system to identify, detect and geo-locate electronic emitters. According to BAE Systems, a single system can help the team address multiple targets.
