TSP DEVELOPMENT (MIP)
Abstract
The Tactical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Payload (TSP) is an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) mounted SIGINT sensor that detects radio frequency (RF) emitters. TSP, through handoff from the Combat Aviation Brigade, is capable of providing the Tactical Land Commander with an overwatch and penetrating SIGINT system capable of detecting, identifying, locating, and providing geolocation information on RF emitters throughout the Area of Operations. The TSP is scalable and modular, designed to provide maximum flexibility. TSP will provide near real time actionable intelligence that can immediately be used in the commander's decision cycle. The TSP electronic emitter information will be correlated with data from other systems (e.g. Prophet and Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (EMARSS), at a Distributed Common Ground System-Army (DCGS-A) node to provide precise targeting information for immediate engagement. TSP maps and aligns with the 2009 Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Cross Cutting study and Force Sizing Assessment with Airborne Precision Geolocation and Tactical SIGINT capabilities.

TSP also supports the 2009 Office of the Secretary of Defense Cross-Cutting Study: Six Overarching Axioms for Information Warfare, Intelligence, Surveillance,and Reconnaissance (ISR) Force Sizing, VCJCS Update, 25 Apr 09, with SIGINT (Geolocation) and SIGINT (Internals). TSP sensors are critical to providing Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) information and contributing to the Joint ISR net.
