The EP-3E is the
Navy's land-based SIGINT reconnaissance aircraft based on the Orion airframe.
The 12 aircraft in the Navy's inventory provide fleet and theater commanders
worldwide with near real-time tactical SIGINT. With sensitive receivers
and high-gain dish antennas, the EP-3E can exploit a wide range of electronic
emissions from deep within enemy territory.
The Aries is currently undergoing a sensor system improvement program
that will enhance its connectivity over a range of C4I links. In addition,
mission software improvements will link offboard and onboard sensors, creating
a fused tactical picture of the battlespace that can be used by the crew
or sent in near real-time to other warfighters. The EP-3E will also act
as a Department of Defense prototype for the high-band subsystem of the
Joint SIGINT Avionics Family (JSAF). The JSAF program will provide the
EP-3E with an open-architecture, state-of-the-art collection system capable
of exploiting threat emissions through the year 2010.
