"The AUSA Global Force Symposium presents important
opportunities for industry and the military community to discuss
and exchange ideas on weapon system acquisition, the direction of
the government's and industry's research and development
investments and ways to improve collaboration between the
government and industry," said Kevin
Campbell, vice president and Huntsville corporate lead executive, Northrop
Grumman. "With today's challenging and rapidly changing operational
environment, it is critical to closely partner with our customers
to ensure our future force remains dominant."
In its booth, Northrop Grumman will feature capabilities to help
the Army maintain a competitive overmatch against potential
adversaries:
- The Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System
(IBCS) is a revolutionary command-and-control system developed to
deliver a single, unambiguous view of the battlespace. IBCS
significantly enhances aircraft and missile tracking and improves
the ability of combatant commanders and air defenders to make
critical decisions within seconds.
- The Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) program is
helping the Army transform tactical logistics with enterprise
resource planning. GCSS-Army will provide a single system to
deliver near real-time and highly accurate data for anticipating,
allocating and synchronizing the flow of resources for missions and
sustainment.
- A Northrop Grumman-developed aircraft-mounted airborne
communications pod combined with the company's Freedom™
multifunction, software-defined radio system serves as an aerial
gateway to create an advanced tactical network. This network
bridges and extends data and voice communications, including among
disparate users and different datalinks; enhances situational
awareness to the tactical edge; and enables a more fully connected
digital battlefield.
- Remotec's rugged and dependable hazardous duty robots provide
safety to our warfighters and first responders by keeping danger at
a distance. Two Remotec unmanned ground vehicles will be on
display: Andros Titus™, the newest and smallest member of the
Andros™ line and an upgraded Andros™ F6B, the workhorse for
military, explosive ordnance disposal teams, hazardous materials
units and other first responders around the world.
- The Highly Adaptable Multi-Mission Radar (HAMMR) provides
comprehensive situational awareness to protect the fighting force
from current and emerging threats. HAMMR incorporates an Active
Electronically Scanned Array fighter radar mounted on a ground
vehicle or towable trailer to provide continuous 360-degree
protection while operating on-the-move.
- VIC-5 is an integrated intercom system that supports internet
protocol communications to soldiers on the battlefield. The system
is the successor to AN/VIC-3, which has been proven on more than
100,000 U.S. ground vehicles. VIC-5 is also backwards compatible
with VIC-3, ensuring a simplified transition to enhanced
capabilities.
- Common Infrared Countermeasures (CIRCM) is a lightweight and
highly reliable laser-based countermeasure system that is designed
to integrate and operate with legacy and emerging missile warning
systems for rotary wing, tilt-rotor and small fixed-wing aircraft
across the military services.
- The AN/APR-39D(V)2 is a radar warning receiver and electronic
warfare management system designed to maximize survivability by
improving aircrew situational awareness via interactive management
of all onboard sensors and countermeasures.
