Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Lockheed Martin has received an order for Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods in two foreign military sales for Bahrain and Taiwan.

The Royal Bahraini Air Force has ordered 19 Sniper ATPs for the F-16 Block 70 platform, and Taiwan has ordered 18 pods for the mid-life upgrades of their F-16 platform.


"Sniper ATP continues to be a must-have product on platforms worldwide for its superior performance and reliability," Michael Williamson, vice president of Sensors & Global Sustainment at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said in a press release.

"We continue to focus on delivering game-changing sensor capabilities to our customers around the globe," Williamson said.

Sniper ATP detects and automatically tracks small targets at long ranges, and can support all laser- and GPS-guided weapons against multiple fixed and moving targets

Sniper ATP has been mounted on numerous aircraft, including U.S. Air Force and multinational F-22, F-15, F-16, F-18, A-10, B-1, B-52, Harrier and Typhoon aircraft.
