Reconnaissance Airborne Pod TORnado (RAPTOR) Precision Targeting (PT) (Navy) - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and/or congressional notification
Abstract
Provide the Distributed Common Ground System – Navy (DCGS-N) and Marine Corps (DCGS-MC) with a capability to receive in near real-time, via Common Data Link (CDL) antenna systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) data from the Reconnaissance Airborne Pod for Tornado (RAPTOR) Systems that are carried by Royal Air Force (RAF) GR-4 platforms. The primary outputs of the RAPTOR System are Electro-Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) images in a digital format. Software modifications to the ISR Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) Systems currently used by DCGS-N will be implemented and tested to verify that ISR data from RAPTOR Systems can be rapidly received, screened for potential mission application, and exploited to produce targeting data that can be used by US weapon systems. This capability will allow US forces to leverage coalition ISR assets and reduce mission requirements for US ISR platforms.
