Flying at high altitude, AIRTRACER can cover a much larger area than conventional ground based SIGINT sensors. The coverage is only limited by the radio horizon which at an altitude of 30,000 feet is around 390 km for emitters on the ground.

Intercept range towards airborne targets could be further depending on the frequency of operation and the antennas used by the emitter.
