Today, the Army's Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) community shoulders a critical mission - to provide quick, applicable, and precise intelligence to commanders operating at tactical, operational, and strategic levels. However, the current fleet, consisting of more than 60 ISR aircraft, are mostly made up of technology echoing the Cold War era.These aircraft, built to tackle Cold War and Counter-terrorism threats, struggle with today's multi-domain operations and shifting geopolitical scenarios. Additionally, as threats to secure communications grow, the need for new strategies and solutions that can adapt without relying on allied military bases increase.
The answer to these challenges is a cutting-edge system - the High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System, or HADES. This solution promises to modernize ISR capabilities, helping to keep pace with our evolving world. A new fleet of high-altitude business jets equipped with signals intelligence sensors and a synthetic aperture radar.
The Army is moving quickly to operationalize new innovations in the realm of long-range precision sensing by working with contractors such as MAG Aerospace to build and operate a new generation of surveillance aircraft.
