ATHENA excels in high-resolution imaging, using advanced optical and infrared cameras to capture detailed images from high altitudes. ...

In addition to imaging, ATHENA boasts powerful signal intelligence (SIGINT) capabilities. Its sensors can intercept and analyze electronic communications and signals emitted by potential adversaries, enabling it to locate, identify, and characterize these signals for threat assessment and support in electronic warfare.

The ATHENA platform also includes sophisticated electronic warfare (EW) systems, which allow it to disrupt, deceive, or turn off enemy communications and radar systems, thus providing tactical support to U.S. forces on the ground and in the air.
