Northrop Grumman Shares the Future of DSaT

Northrop Grumman Corporation recently demonstrated its Deep-Sensing and Targeting (DSaT) platform at the Experimental Demonstration Gateway Event (EDGE) ’23, hosted by the U.S. Army.
 
During a simulated, real-world tactical scenario, the company successfully gathered and fused multi-domain data for rapid dissemination to the Tactical Operations Centre, collected and analysed data from commercial satellites onboard the aircraft and met 100 per cent of the criteria for the experimentation.
 
Pablo Pezzimenti, vice president, integrated national systems, Northrop Grumman, said: “Northrop Grumman’s ground-breaking technology can help the Army realise its vision of deep-sensing with the ability to identify, monitor, target and strike threats from farther distances and with greater precision. We are supporting the warfighter’s targeting needs with intelligence collection beyond line of site and leveraging aerial assets in providing multi-domain fused data directly to the front lines.”
 
DSaT is a multi-domain deep-sensing architecture integrated into a civilian aircraft, providing intelligence collection that reaches beyond the visual line of sight of local sensors. While leveraging elements of the TITAN pre-prototype system, its capability fills a gap in data collection by combining space-based geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) imagery with aerial and terrestrial intelligence from commercial and military space systems.
 
The mobile, semi-autonomous pre-prototype system leverages commercial and military space assets to facilitate deep-sensing, reduce sensor-to-shooter timelines and maximise the effectiveness of long-range precision fires. This new capability fully integrates data from multiple assets into a single mobile system. The technology supports the Department of Defense’s strategy for its JADC2 network to conduct multi-domain operations.
 
The CRJ-700 jet was used at EDGE ‘23 in Yuma, Arizona, to demonstrate DSaT’s multi-domain deep sensing architecture.  The CRJ-700 is a stretched version of the 50-seat CRJ200; its length increased by 5.74m. It also has a wingspan increased by 2m and an in-creased internal cabin width.
 
Phase 1 successfully demonstrated the GEOINT capabilities, with future phases planned for incorporating multiple intelligence platforms. Northrop Grumman’s solutions provide capabilities to connect, advance and protect the U.S. and its allies.
