Enabling the US Army to dominate in every domain
Enabling the US Army to dominate in every domain
In our commitment to support the U.S. Army's modernization transformation, Northrop Grumman delivers highly technical, critical capabilities to soldiers and combat formations quickly and affordably.
With deep expertise and understanding of the multi-domain battle, our combat avionics, integrated air and missile defense, cyber security, training, and multifunction mission systems, can affordably enable the transition back to multi-spectral competencies.
Our open, modular architecture also allows for rapid integration and the ability to update systems as the threat evolves, providing the decisive advantage needed for mission success.
Mission Systems Architectures
Advanced Avionics
Our agile, open architecture based design is adaptable and transportable to multiple platforms and missions.
Modular Open Systems Approach
Open architecture systems enhance how new capabilities are acquired and delivered to the Warfighter, which allows agencies to work with multiple developers to upgrade capabilities. Such systems increase competition, enable upgrade regardless of developer, increase acquisition speed and broaden opportunity for updates.
Multi-functional Systems
Multi-function systems enable rapid updates to meet changing threats and mission needs. By updating software in these systems they can meet a new radar tracking requirement or help combat a new cyber threat. Multi-function systems also enhance systems affordability and can be used to increase the capability of legacy systems.
Aircraft Survivability
APR-39D(V)2 maximizes survivability by improving aircrew situational awareness via interactive management of all onboard sensors and countermeasures.
Designed specifically to protect rotary wing and medium fixed wing aircraft from IR missiles, our CIRCM offering is built on open architecture to work with existing hardware, simplify upgrades, and keep lifecycle costs low.
Bringing greater operational reach to Army Maneuver elements via a vertical lift aircraft with greater speed, range and payload, with a true open, safe & secure architecture that enables a low risk approach to operational success.
Advanced Targeting
The LONGBOW Fire Control Radar enables the potent Apache attack helicopter to detect, classify and prioritize moving or stationary land, sea or air targets, day or night, in poor weather and obscured conditions; then attack those targets with pinpoint accuracy from ranges that safeguard the lives of the aircrew increasing mission lethality and survivability.
HAMMR features a compact, lightweight ground configuration that employs an active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna technology from airborne fighter aircraft.
The AN/PED-1 LLDR provides a unique capability to Forward Observers, Forward Air Controllers and Naval Gunfire Spot Teams.
LITENING enables aircrews to detect, acquire, auto-track and identify targets at long ranges for weapon delivery or nontraditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
Venom is a remote-controlled laser designator rangefinder telescoping mast system with an automatic tracking device that enables warfighters to designate moving and stationary targets while on the move from the safety of an armored vehicle.
Combat Support
In today's conflicts, a new battlefield is arising – one where traditional systems aren't the only ones targeted. At Northrop Grumman, we create unrivaled, full-spectrum cyber solutions to actively combat these threats.
In support of American shipbuilder, Vigor’s groundbreaking landing craft program for the U.S. Army, the Maneuver Support Vessel – Light (MSVL), Northrop Grumman’s Navigation & Maritime Systems Division is providing the C4I systems engineering and program management support to BMT Designers & Planners.
Military readiness – the “ability of military forces to fight and meet the demands of assigned missions” – is facing unprecedented challenges as the nature of warfare evolves and budgets remain constrained.
Lethality
Northrop Grumman produces a broad spectrum of medium- and large-caliber ammunition for the U.S. and its Allies for air, ground and sea applications.
Northrop Grumman's Medium caliber cannons boast unrivaled reliability and effectiveness.
The guided projectiles business features the Precision Guidance Kit that replaces conventional fuzes for artillery and mortar munitions, transforming them into precision weapons.
Lethality Enhanced Ordnance (LEO) – a scalable, performance-enhancing warhead technology that contains no sub-munitions thereby eliminating the dangers of unexploded ordnance.
Northrop Grumman is the industry leader in providing precision weapons that are employed from air, land and sea based platforms.
Northrop Grumman's extensive product portfolio is comprised largely of propulsion systems for tactical missiles, missile interceptors, launch vehicles and spacecraft.
Missile Defense
IBCS creates a paradigm shift for IAMD by replacing legacy stove-piped systems with a next-generation, net-centric approach that integrates disparate radars and weapons to construct a far more effective IAMD enterprise.
JTAGS is a first-of-its-kind, transportable information processing system designed to receive and process in-theater, raw, infrared data from up to three Defense Support Program (DSP) sensors.
Our SHORAD components provide the command and control (C2) and situational awareness to respond to diverse threats, 24/7, with scalable solutions aiding decision-making, making responses faster and more effective.
Situational Awareness
Northrop Grumman's approach moves the burden of trusted A-PNT Hub away from sole reliance on GPS to the complementary use of inertial devices augmented with additional alternative methods of navigation.
At Northrop Grumman, we believe that a strong defense against Unmanned Aerial System Threats requires a comprehensive, end-to-end approach. We provide an integrated, layered solution, from sensing to intercept.
