Military signals intelligence (SIGINT) experts at General Dynamics are ready to upgrade combat vehicle SIGINT vetronics system to enhance the system's ability to detect, identify, locate, and deter a wide range of signal emissions on the battlefield. Officials of the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., announced plans to award a sole-source contract to General Dynamics Mission Systems in Scottsdale, Ariz., to upgrade 47 fielded AN/MLQ-44A Prophet-Enhanced SIGINT vetronics systems to the latest AN/MLQ-44B configuration. Prophet offers a near-real-time picture of the battlespace through SIGINT sensors and high-performance computing.
