Northrop Grumman to showcase military systems advances at AUSA 2013
NewsOctober 23, 2013
WASHINGTON. Northrop Grumman will be highlighting its most significant advances in U.S. military systems at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition from October 21-23 in Washington, DC, located at booth 6330.
Northrop Grumman will be featuring advances in aircraft protection, including the AN/APR-39 radar-warning receiver and the Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) system. The AN/APR-39 provides constant 360° coverage to automatically detect and identify threat type and lethality, then alerts the crew to each threat with a graphical symbol on the cockpit display. CIRCM, which is a high-reliability, lightweight, low-cost, laser-based countermeasure system, is designed to integrate and operate with legacy and emerging missile warning systems for rotary wing, tilt-rotor, and small fixed-wing aircraft.
The Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) that optimizes battle management command and control and significantly improves cost effectiveness and flexibility will also be on display. Also on display will be Northrop Grumman's family of tactical radars, including the Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar (VADER) and the small tactical radar lightweight STARLite. Weighing only 65 pounds, STARLite is ideal for equipping a variety of manned and unmanned aerial system platforms for mission-critical tactical reconnaissance. STARLite is capable of conducting through-the-weather surveillance and detecting stationary, dismounted, and moving targets.
Other radar capabilities highlighted will include the Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR), AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR), Highly Adaptable Multi-Mission Radar (HAMMR), and the LONGBOW fire control radar.
