The ability to geolocate and track satellite phone communications is an essential element of the armoury of agencies involved in maritime security and surveillance globally.Horizon's current BlackFish(tm) Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) solution is a follow-on to its successful FlyingFish(tm) system which is flying on over 60 NATO and non-NATO aircraft. BlackFish(tm) monitors the Thuraya, ISAT, and Iridium Sat Phone networks, geolocating and monitoring Sat Phone handsets. Our systems are already deployed in NATO and FRONTEX aircraft and have helped save the lives of more than 20,000 migrants.The Industrial research-based BlackFishX project targets advancement in our state of the art of airborne SIGINT solutions for use on the latest High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) and Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) platforms. We specifically aim to leverage the capabilities we have developed in non-military surveillance of satellite phone communications to exploit the potential that HAPS platforms provide.The requirements of HALE and MALE platforms will require significant development in the construction of our payload, not least in reducing its size and mass appreciably. The knowledge gained from the work will be invaluable as we look to future space-based platform applications. Horizon will partner with existing supplier and RF and microwave product specialist Linwave in developing BlackFishX. The project will last 15 months and project costs are budgeted at £228,215\.

地理定位和跟踪卫星电话通信的能力是参与全球海上安全和监视的机构的重要组成部分。Horizo​​n 目前的 BlackFish(tm) 信号情报 (SIGINT) 解决方案是其成功的 FlyingFish(tm) 的后续解决方案该系统在 60 多架北约和非北约飞机上运行，​​可监控 Thuraya、ISAT 和铱星电话网络，进行地理定位和监控卫星电话。我们的系统已部署在 NATO 和 FRONTEX 飞机上，并帮助挽救了 20,000 多名移民的生命。基于工业研究的 BlackFishX 项目的目标是提高我们最先进的机载信号情报解决方案，以用于最新的高空飞行。我们的具体目标是利用我们在卫星电话通信非军事监视领域开发的长航时 (HALE) 和中空长航时 (MALE) 平台的潜力。 HAPS 平台提供。HALE 和 MALE 平台的要求将需要在有效载荷的建造方面进行重大改进，尤其是在显着减小其尺寸和质量方面，当我们展望未来的天基平台时，从工作中获得的知识将是非常宝贵的。 Horizo​​n 将与现有供应商以及射频和微波产品专家 Linwave 合作开发 BlackFishX，该项目将持续 15 个月，项目成本预算为 228,215 英镑。
