Military ISR

Sat Phones are a key tool for communications which military forces need to monitor and geolocate.

ISR aircraft have a wide range of sensors; EO/IR cameras, SIGINT systems to pick up various radios, and systems to monitor and locate target GSM phones. For every ISR aircraft, one of those key sensors is FlyingFish™ which picks up and geolocates and monitors Sat Phones. As targets tend to use different Sat Phone networks, customers need systems which can monitor a variety of Sat Phone networks in use worldwide.

“Before we started using FlyingFish™, the terrorists could plan an attack within a few days. With FlyingFish™, they have to communicate with pen and paper, and it takes them a month to plan their operations.”
