Emerging Trends in Naval Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
Innovation in sensor technology is a primary focus among leading naval ISR companies. A notable development is the advancement of miniaturized passive communications intelligence sensors designed to improve operational stealth and tactical awareness. These compact electronic support systems intercept and analyze communication signals without emitting detectable transmissions, allowing for enhanced survivability and multi-domain deployment.

For example, in October 2024, Sweden-based defense company Saab AB introduced the Sirius Compact L20C, a highly mobile passive sensor tailored for tactical reconnaissance of communication signals. This sensor can detect, classify, localize, and track a variety of communication sources such as enemy radios and drone links in real-time. Its compact size allows deployment on foot, light vehicles, or naval platforms, and its NATO-compatible interfaces facilitate smooth integration with command and control systems. This enhances operational agility and supports rapid decision-making in the field.
