THE NEW OPTION FOR
MODERN THREATS – SOAR™
SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW
About Soar
About SOAR
Scalable Open Architecture Reconnaissance (SOAR) integrates L3Harris’ industry leading full-band signals intelligence (SIGINT) capability with a medium-altitude long-endurance General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) Predator B wing-mounted pod to offer unparalleled options for warfighters in the ISR domain.

INTEGRATED STRUCTURE
ASSEMBLY
Offering new options for current and future Predator B weapons system customers, SOAR is a key capability for the U.S. and its allies. SOAR addresses the most urgent and compelling needs for Predator B electronic support measures (ESM)/SIGINT. L3Harris and GA-ASI jointly invested to develop and integrate a deployable prototype using the certified Standard Payload Interface Design and Integration (SPIDI) pod.
> Enables standoff SIGINT collection from Predator B
> Draws significant heritage and capabilities from L3Harris’ strategic fixed-wing ISR and SIGINT FoS
> Predator A Block 1, Predator A Block 5, and Predator B compatible
> High technology readiness level successfully flight tested May through October 2019

Predator B w/ SOAR gathers actionable intelligence paving the way for streamlined collaborative operations response to threats.
Open architecture with commercial-
off-the-shelf/government-off-the-
shelf (COTS/GOTS) standards. Real time remote operations/secure mission data storage.
SOAR provides long-range standoff ID and geolocation of peer-nation IADS. SOAR can see threats before the threats can see SOAR.
