Lockheed Martin ready to answer US Navy’s next-generation targeting pod needs with the Sniper

Lockheed Martin’ Sniper pod is the most widely deployed targeting system for fixed-wing aircraft in use by the U.S. Air Force, and is the targeting system of choice for 16 international air forces. With a possible US Navy requirement in the near future for next-generation target pods, Lockheed Martin feels it has the right system to answer current and future needs.

Building on the technology of legacy ATP pods, Sniper pods in the new ATP-SE configuration provide an even greater capability via new enhanced sensors, a two-way data link, advanced processors and automated non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance modes.

Navy Recognition had the opportunity to ask a few questions to Ken Fuhr, director of Fixed Wing Programs, from Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control regarding the Sniper Pod.
