Military UAS
Discover cutting-edge solutions from 4 leading global suppliers
BlueHalo is set to provide hardware, materials, components, and operational support to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for modular payload-compliant electronic warfare (EW) sensors onboard uncrewed aerial systems (UAS).
Under the five-year, $49.9M contract from the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, BlueHalo will support the design, upgrade, testing, delivery, and evaluation of complex sensor systems.
This will include their integration into various UAS platforms as part of the NIWC Pacific’s work to sustain sensor operations with repairs and replacements and to train operators on the use of these sensor systems.
BlueHalo has provided sensor systems deployed in a variety of platforms supported and maintained by NIWC Pacific and fielded by U.S. government customers. Enabled through both a modular open system approach (MOSA) and Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA), these sensors have been integrated into multiple programs.
This includes the Group 3 Unmanned Aerial System (G3UAS) program, the USSOCOM Multi-mission Tactical Unmanned Aerial System (MTUAS) program, and Mid-Endurance Unmanned Aerial System (MEUAS) in support of the Joint Threat Warning System (JTWS) Program Office.
James Batt, BlueHalo Chief Growth Officer, commented, “BlueHalo continues to deliver inspired engineering and tactical solutions to help our Nation stay ahead of global threats. NIWC Pacific has relied on our EW sensors to support mission success for more than 15 years. This contract underlines the confidence customers have in BlueHalo to field the very best capabilities when it matters most.”
Mary Clum, BlueHalo Products & Space Systems Portfolio President, added, “EW sensor integrations can be incredibly complex–spanning multiple airframes, information infrastructures, and domains to meet multiple mission needs. With our technical expertise and superior EW systems, BlueHalo provides customers with the modularity, scalability, and interoperability necessary to support a variety of platforms and configurations.”
