Description: The Warfighter's Tactical SIGINT Resource (WTSR) is a US Navy program aimed at delivering low-cost, lightweight, plug-and-play signals intelligence (SIGINT) sensor package that requires minimal power tailored for UAV aircraft. The WTSR sensor will be equipped with flight-tunable receivers that enable rapid re-tasking of the SIGINT payload during flight operations. Once developed, the payload will undergo flight testing aboard a Class II UAV operating at 3,000-ft of altitude. Northrop Grumman and Swift Engineering team received the developmental contract from US Navy on July 28, 2008.
