Overview
As an industry-leading provider of airborne ISR solutions, L3Harris leverages decades of investment in cutting-edge technologies to offer an innovative approach to increase sensor capability without costly and lengthy aircraft modifications. With RASISR, L3Harris introduces a further innovative approach to scalable signals intelligence (SIGINT) solutions integrating proven Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 9 systems in a universal pod.
RASISR hosts the latest-generation L3Harris SIGINT technology, leveraging decades of investment and experience in advanced systems with the company’s Rio Grande communications intelligence (COMINT) and Olympia electronic intelligence (ELINT) systems. The Rio Grande COMINT system integrated within RASISR provides the passive capability to intercept, locate, monitor, and record communications signals over the 10 MHz-to-6.0 GHz frequency range and the Olympia ELINT system provides the ability to intercept, detect, and pinpoint the location of RF emitters; identify the type, function, and mode of intercepted emitters over an RF frequency range of 0.5 GHz-to-40 GHz.
RASISR provides a unique solution to significantly increase availability of full-spectrum SIGINT capability – COMINT, ELINT and special signals – that performs in both strategic (stand-off) and tactical missions against the most challenging adversary signal sets. SIGINT systems are based on an open scalable architecture which allows rapid system modification and upgrade to keep pace with the ever-changing collection environment. A scalable software approach also provides commonality across the SIGINT domain and reduces logistics and sustainment costs to support a variety of different platforms.
