Integrated Mission Systems

Military Aircraft

ATK provides the Integrated Sensor and Display System for RC-26B aircraft used by Air National Guard units to support maritime, border protection, high-priority surveillance, and counter-drug missions throughout the U.S. The system’s moving map displays visual representation of aircraft location, sensor target location, and field of view, and provides the operator full control of the sensors.

Used on board Air National Guard C-130 aircraft, ATK Mission Systems’ Scathe View system is both a situational awareness tool and an intelligence collection sensor. It provides mission specialists with powerful real-time imagery of events on the ground both day and night via electro-optical and infrared sensors.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, ATK technicians worked around the clock to install Scathe View systems on numerous aircraft so they could assist with search and rescue missions in New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast region.

Department of Homeland Security Aircraft

ATK is under contract to modify two types of commercial aircraft into Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) and Multi-Role Enforcement Aircraft (MEA) for use by the Department of Homeland Security in airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions.

The platform for the MPA is the DHC-8 Q202, twin turboprop aircraft manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace in Toronto, Canada. ATK Mission Systems is integrating commercial radar and sensor systems with its Integrated Sensor and Display System to enable the MPA to accomplish its primary mission: maritime surveillance and law enforcement in customs and border protection operational areas.

The platform for the MEA is the Pilatus PC-12/45 single-engine, turboprop aircraft manufactured in Switzerland. ATK Mission Systems is installing the Integrated Sensor and Display Systems to modify it into the MEA, which is being used to conduct surveillance of the U.S. border with Canada.
