Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod’s datalink to be upgraded

The U.S. Air Force awarded Lockheed Martin a $13 million contract to upgrade the Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod’s (ATP) existing data link with an enhanced digital Compact Multi-band Data Link (CMDL).

This upgrade expands the Sniper pod’s current video data link capabilities by enabling digital transmission of high definition imagery and metadata between aircrews and ground troops at extended ranges.
