The U.S. Army’s Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) program is being developed by Raytheon Technologies.
Systems mounted on a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle will enhance TITAN’s intelligence-gathering capabilities.
Raytheon Technologies will integrate modern development tools and processes to enhance the quality of TITAN’s capabilities while meeting tight delivery timelines.
The baseline software of TITAN enables Task, Collect, Process, Exploit, and Disseminate functions across domains for efficient data integration.
The contract term for the TITAN competitive prototype phase is 14 months and will include additional software and hardware components.
The Raytheon Technologies team is designing TITAN to enable multi-domain operations for the Army.
TITAN will ingest data from space, high-altitude aerial, and terrestrial sensors to provide targetable data to defense systems.
TITAN is a tactical ground station designed to find and track threats in support of long-range precision targeting.
The Raytheon-developed TITAN solution will support multi-source intelligence for targeting and situational awareness for commanders.
The Dragonfly mission to Titan, chosen under New Frontiers, has a projected lifecycle cost more than twice the program’s previous cost cap of $850,000,000 excluding launch and operations.
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS) delivered the first set of products to support the U.S. Army Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) space-ground system prototype developed by Northrop Grumman.
NASA will launch the Dragonfly rotorcraft mission to Titan in 2027 and the mission is expected to arrive at Titan in 2034.
Mission Microwave’s Titan Ka-band solid-state BUC provides 200 watts of output power.
The US Patent and Trademark Office published a series of patents related to Project Titan by Apple Inc.
Titan Ka-band BUC orders placed and scheduled for delivery in 2021 exceed $8,000,000.
Mission Microwave’s terminal integrator customers have been deploying the Ka-band Titan BUC in volume since 2017.
Northrop Grumman is developing two prototype TITAN ground stations under a contract from the Defense Innovation Unit and the Army Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities office.
Northrop Grumman’s TITAN prototype designs will be tested in exercises in 2022 and 2023 to demonstrate the value of commercial and military space assets in improving battlefield awareness.
The Dragonfly mission will use rotorcraft technology for a much larger vehicle to fly in the dense atmosphere of Titan, and Dragonfly is scheduled for launch in 2027.
Citadel Defense's Titan protects troops and high-value assets against unwanted drone activity and swarms when large and expensive multi-sensor systems cannot be deployed.
