Sierra Nevada spent millions of its own dollars refining its candidate, which is capable of cuing in on electronic transmissions and collecting target signatures on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis award is the direct result of SNC\u2019s commitment to putting \u2018skin in the game\u2019 and staying one step ahead by anticipating challenges and innovating solutions years in advance,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sncorp.com\/personnel\/tim-owings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Owings<\/a>, executive vice president for mission solutions and technologies, said in a statement. \u201cOur born-digital design process and engineering techniques place RAPCON-X among the most capable and rapidly configurable A-ISR platforms worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/electronic-warfare\/2023\/11\/14\/lockheed-seeks-expanded-roles-for-q-53-radar-including-drone-detection\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6245658.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Lockheed seeks expanded roles for Q-53 radar including drone detection<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">\u201cIt\u2019s legacy has been counter-fire,\u201d said Lockheed Martin&#039;s David Kenneweg. \u201cNow, we\u2019ve got a multi-mission radar that does multiple things.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army is in the midst of revamping its aerial reconnaissance and electronic warfare arsenals. It is moving away from Cold War-era planes and their limitations and toward a future where battlefield insights are gleaned from dramatic distance, with long-reaching firepower to match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ISR investments come as the U.S. Department of Defense prepares for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2023\/09\/12\/china-russia-will-use-cyber-to-sow-chaos-if-war-starts-pentagon-says\/\" target=\"_blank\">potential large-scale conflict with Russia and China<\/a>. The Army is paying particular attention to what\u2019s known as deep sensing, or the capacity to find, monitor, target and kill from farther away and with finer precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA number of senior U.S. military leaders, including combatant commanders in their most recent posture statements to Congress, have noted that the U.S. needs enhanced ISR capabilities to maintain domain awareness,\u201d Steve Patrick, vice president of Bombardier Defense, said in a statement. \u201cOur Global 6500 aircraft platform \u2014 in SNC\u2019s RAPCON-X configuration \u2014 allows the military to close the ISR gap, to sense deeper and further, and loiter over theater for longer than previous fixed-wing aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both ATHENA-S and its long-range-radar sister, ATHENA-R, will shape the service\u2019s High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System, or HADES, expected later this decade. L3Harris Technologies and MAG Aerospace were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/isr\/2023\/08\/22\/mag-l3harris-to-supply-army-with-athena-equipped-spy-planes\/\" target=\"_blank\">tapped for ATHENA-R earlier this year<\/a>. The companies did not disclose the value of the contract at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sierra Nevada said it will conduct its ATHENA-S work at facilities in Hagerstown, Maryland. The company is the 57th largest defense contractor in the world when ranked by defense-related revenue, according to Defense News analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
