Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) successfully demonstrated phase two of its Deep Sensing and Targeting (DSaT) system during the U.S. Army's Vanguard 24 experiment. The DSaT system enhances long-range precision fire capabilities by utilizing space-based data while airborne, addressing key warfighting gaps and expanding the effectiveness of Army missions.

During Vanguard 24, Northrop Grumman's DSaT system:

- Combined space-based sensor data to provide critical targeting intelligence for deep strike objectives.

- Employed tactical radios for Line of Sight and Beyond Line of Sight communications, integrating into current and future networks.

- Incorporated automation and intelligence analysis to enhance mission accuracy, speed, and efficiency.

"DSaT demonstrates our capability to move data at the speed of future warfare to best support the warfighter's targeting needs while not bound by land or sea. Delivering space-based data to an aircraft enhances the flexibility to process, exploit and distribute intelligence for faster decision making when every moment matters," said Pablo Pezzimenti, vice president of integrated national systems at Northrop Grumman.

Leveraging the company's tactical edge portfolio, DSaT offers intelligence collection that extends beyond the visual line of sight and integrates this data into a civilian aircraft. Sponsored by the Department of the Army Headquarters G-2's Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Task Force, phase two of DSaT aligns with the Army's High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES) platform, providing deep sensing capabilities. Together with HADES, DSaT supports a comprehensive mission roadmap for ISR and target nomination. Phase one of DSaT was previously demonstrated at EDGE 23.
