The Hammer system is an open architecture airborne
signals intelligence (SIGINT) payload that detects, Key features and benefits
locates, and identifies emitters to provide full-
System versatility enables the support of full-spectrum
spectrum awareness and actionable intelligence to
operational scenarios, including electronic order of battle
operational users. It can be carried under the aircraft
generation and precision geolocation
wing or internally, via a rack-mounted configuration.
This full-system solution includes a processor, Mature technology leveraged from multiple programs reduces
antennas, ground station, aircraft A-Kit interface, development costs, risk, and time-to-field
associated support equipment, and engineering Flexible hardware enables installation under the wing (pod),
services. The Hammer system delivers tomorrow’s or internally (rack-mounted chassis)
capability, today. Self-contained, integrated packaging provides space for
additional payloads and increased time-on-station
Software-driven operation with in-flight reconfigurability
