Jeremy WardQinetiq has unveiled a new line of surveillance systems for mounted onboard aircraft that Jeremy Ward, managing director for the company’s C4ISR business, says are designed to help security teams with coverage, HSToday reported Wednesday.

Kylie Bull writes the ASX family, launched at the Farnborough Airshow, works to use signal processing technology for command and control functions to pinpoint suspected suspicious activity.

“QinetiQ’s ASX Airborne Electronic Surveillance product range allows aircraft to conduct signals intelligence missions—essentially the detection and location of communications transmitters, which are often the first sign of an adversary or criminal activity,” Ward was quoted as saying.

According to the report, ASX can be mounted on either manned or unmanned aerial vehicles and customers have choices of three variants.

“By mounting the system in an aircraft, the customer is able to monitor a wide swath of land or sea, allowing them to protect their national interests, whether keeping borders free from smugglers or keeping critical infrastructure in remote places secure,” Ward said.

QinetiQ demonstrated the ASX system onboard a DA42 at the recent UK event in collaboration with DO Systems.
