Lockheed Martin Corporation has announced the successful completion of the inaugural flight demonstration of the Sniper® Networked Targeting Pod (NTP) on two F-16 aircraft. The demonstration, which has already taken place, validated the pod's ability to network targeting data in real time between multiple aircraft and a ground station using secure datalinks and mobile ad hoc network (MANET) radios. This advancement transforms the proven Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod into a networked sensor node, enabling rapid data sharing and improved coordination among airborne, ground, and maritime teams. The results mark a significant step toward more integrated and responsive operations in complex battlespaces.
