Sniper ATPs provide long range positive identification of targets and real time targeting. The tracker enables laser guided weaponry use against moving targets. The Sniper pods will include a video down link that will relay video to deployed forces for rapid target coordination using the Rover ground receiver.

 

The Sniper ATP is currently deployed within the U.S. Air Force, Air National Guard and 11 international air forces and coalitions. The Sniper pod is currently operational on the F-16, F-15, B-1, F-18, Harrier, A-10 and Tornado Aircraft. Integration on the B-52 is currently underway.
