October 05, 2017

-

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will highlight a full range of solutions for the many missions of the U.S. Army at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place Oct. 9-11 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

Northrop Grumman’s AUSA exhibit booth #6229 will spotlight solutions designed to give the U.S. Army a decisive advantage in a multi-domain battle. These solutions provide tailored enhancements that help preserve command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) dominance while expanding mission capabilities and creating tomorrow’s solutions for today’s Army force.

Featured in the booth will be the company’s digital helicopter cockpit and integrated avionics solutions. Derived from the U.S. Army’s UH-60V Black Hawk program, the system offers an affordable, open, safe and secure integrated suite of avionics equipment. The system’s integrated architecture can be applied to many platforms and sustained through a single software package. Northrop Grumman’s avionics solution capitalizes on the company’s leadership and history in weapons and sensor integration, including development of the first airborne fire control computer nearly 50 years ago.

Also in the booth, Northrop Grumman’s subsidiary Remotec Inc. will feature the newest member of the AndrosTM line of proven unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs): Nomad. Like other robots in the Northrop Grumman Andros fleet, Nomad incorporates the feedback from decades working with first responder and military customers to offer advanced technology, ease of use and reliability. Northrop Grumman is the largest provider of ground robots to the first responder market in the U.S., and in addition, the company’s UGVs are fielded across all U.S. military services and bomb squads in 36 countries.
