The Future of A-ISR

SNC is invested in building a safer tomorrow through an unparalleled airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (A-ISR) offering. SNC’s new A-ISR jet capability, RAPCON-X, is built with a current production, commercial derivative aircraft (CDA) and offers high reliability, superior range, endurance and an operational envelope that enhances survivability and the ability to operate in peer-to-peer and near-peer environments.

Designed with the future in mind, today – RAPCON-X is born digital.

Its modular design was created using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), significantly reducing the time required to integrate new systems and add new capabilities. It can be easily reconfigured for specific mission purpose without aircraft redesign. Intended for worldwide operations, RAPCON-X is engineered ready for ASE installation.

Rapidly Configurable
to any Mission

FASTER - 24 HRS AOR

HIGHER - 51K' Certified Altitude

LONGER - 14+ Hour Endurance

Highly Effective Mission Domain ISR Operations

The current environment is shifting to near-peer threats with increased lethality, range and speed. SNC’s RAPCON-X solution addresses these challenges by delivering a turnkey solution that advances C5ISR warfighting capabilities with a connected battlefield across all domains. RAPCON-X offers persistent ISR mission operations with a high-altitude, near-peer-optimized sensor capability through a COCO A-ISR service.
