At last, a US Army acquisition official has explained the purpose -- if not the details -- of the Hunter Green Dart program.
This blog first reported on this secretive signals intelligence (SIGINT) system in October 2007, and followed-up with a speculative -- and now slightly errant -- report in August 2008.
Tim Owings, the army's deputy program manager for unmanned aircraft systems, held a press conference at the AUVSI air programs conference on February 3. Asked point-blank, "What is Hunter Green Dart?", Owings gave a fairly complete answer. We still don't know the precise nature of the system's SIGINT capabilities, but the purpose of the program is now clear.
