Airborne Intelligence Solutions
Horizon Technologies is a world leader in airborne intelligence solutions; both in the air via manned and unmanned aircraft as well as in space. Horizon Technologies Aerospace solutions geolocate and monitor satellite phone networks for ISR missions. Horizon Technologies Space provides space-based Maritime Domain Awareness data to government and commercial customers.
BlackFish™ Demonstration with Airborne Technologies
Horizon’s FlyingFish/BlackFish™ products are unique dual-use intelligence products focused on Sat Phone and Iridium device monitoring. Customers are typically intelligence or government agencies and are in use 24/7 by numerous NATO and Allied countries. These products have been instrumental in ending piracy in Somalia, locating terrorists and rescuing over 200,000 migrants in the Mediterranean Sea.
BlackFishX is a compact and lighter version of BlackFish™ weighing only 4.4 kg but still with the tri-band Sat Phone and Iridium device monitoring capability. Designed for unmanned UAVs/ Aerostats and other platforms which require light SWaP sensors. Like BlackFish™, it is fully DO-160 qualified.
Tri-Band Sat Phone SIGINT System monitoring
-
Simultaneously monitor Iridium, Thuraya and Inmarsat Sat Phones. Capable of monitoring a total of 60 duplex channels or 120 simplex channels.
-
As an airborne system, interception ranges up to hundreds of kilometers for uplinks, and thousands of kilometers for downlinks.
-
Tactical mission software included which can be used to integrate BlackFish™ capabilities into any aircraft ISR mission system.
Horizon Technologies provides intelligence solutions for Government and Commercial users.
Our BlackFish™ and legacy FlyingFish™ systems are deployed in the air, on land (mobile vehicle or on surveillance towers) and on vessels. They can be networked into a single integrated system for geolocating and monitoring local or regional L-band Sat Phone traffic.
Our Amber™ space-based maritime intelligence system provides geolocations and an ID from maritime L-band Sat Phones and Iridium devices as well as X and S band maritime radars that can be correlated with AIS to uncover Dark Vessels.
Blackfish is a proven system
Designed to passively and SIMULTANEOUSLY monitor Iridium, Thuraya, and Inmarsat (IsatPhone Pro) sat phones and Iridium communication and tracking devices. The system will detect and monitor communications and call activity within radio line-of-sight.
BlackFish™ uses state-of-the-art technology and is based on a Software Defined Radio (SDR), equipped with powerful CPU and GPU processing capacity, a passively cooled system ensuring maximal reliability and performance. The system has no moving parts which ensures reliability during operation in extreme conditions.
