Compass Bright (Airborne SIGINT Development - Compass Bright)

Abstract

(U) The COMPASS BRIGHT program develops, demonstrates, and rapidly transitions advanced Air Force specific Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities against emerging and future target signals. The COMPASS BRIGHT program includes the newer Operational Reconnaissance (Ops Recce). This program pursues SIGINT and Ops Recce technologies for program transition, to include Communications Intelligence (COMINT), Electronic Intelligence (ELINT), Audio, Analytics, Special Signals of Interest, and Radio Frequency (RF) Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT). The COMPASS BRIGHT program objective is to develop technologies for application in SIGINT and MASINT systems or subsystems. Acquisition and production of these developed technologies will occur within the appropriate platform programs. COMPASS BRIGHT projects are selected through a data call process, whereby the USAF evaluates proposals from the laboratories and industry partners, to select those projects that are most promising. This program includes total government and contractor costs for these projects.
