“Griffin Eye represents a total end-to-end airborne ISR solution,” Linden Blue, GA-ASI’s president, Reconnaissance Systems Group said in a statement. “It integrates the airborne payload package with an operator console station that collects, formats, and displays sensor data for optimum exploitation. Imagery and exploitation products can then be sent via an airborne data link to ground stations for further analysis.”
Sensors offered include the company’s Lynx synthetic aperture radar/ground moving target indicator (SAR/GMTI), and electro-optical/infra-red (EO-IR) cameras, as well as datalinks and other communications enhancements.
