Northrop Grumman’s OpenLift™ Integrated Mission Equipment Package

Northrop Grumman's integrated, open systems architecture features high performance across multiple platforms and enables software-defined upgrades. Our open, flexible plug & play architecture supports rapid and timely capability enhancements, so our customers benefit from the most efficient and affordable solution over a program's life cycle.

OpenLift™ Modular Open Systems Architecture

Our modular open systems architecture (MOSA), OpenLift™, enhances the way new capabilities are acquired and delivered to the warfighter. With open architecture systems, operators are free to work with multiple developers to upgrade capabilities. By breaking vendor lock, these systems drive competition and enable more frequent upgrades that can greatly extend and expand an aircraft’s mission set.

Proven Experience in Helicopter Upgrades

Our approach for the design and implementation of the UH-60V integrated mission equipment package draws upon our experience with similar upgrades for the U.S. Marine Corps AH-1Z and UH-1Y helicopters, U.S. Navy E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, and the Royal Jordanian Air Force AH-1 program.
