Gloria Flach, president, Northrop
Grumman Electronic Systems, and Kathy
Warden, president, Northrop Grumman Information Systems,
both addressed the group assembled at the company's Center for
Innovative Solutions (CIS). Other executives guided guests through
an immersive mission scenario followed by interactive
demonstrations of mission enablers that could be used to address
the continuously evolving threats the nation's warfighters
encounter in the battlespace.
The integrated framework discussion highlighted opportunities to
improve nearly every aspect of C4ISR. Northrop Grumman
communications networks are a key enabler that seamlessly connect
otherwise incompatible data links and voice waveforms. The company
cited open integration as a way to more efficiently cross domains,
from undersea to outer space and cyberspace. The company adds
experience in the full range of sensor technologies, including
radar, electronic warfare, infrared and visible
spectra.
"Everything we do for C4ISR is about increasing agile
responsiveness," said Flach. "By fully integrating every facet –
from sophisticated platforms and sensors to cutting-edge processing
and communications – we can deliver the asymmetrical advantage that
is going to make the difference in tomorrow's
battlespace."
"Our solutions offer speed of information, speed of decision and
speed of action, all with open-architecture, vendor-agnostic
systems," said Warden. "Cyber, and specifically cyber resilience,
is both critical and fully integrated into everything we do."
Programs and capabilities on display included the Ground/Air
Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR); Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR);
Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT); Distributed Aperture
System (DAS); Enterprise Airborne Gateway Network (EAGN); and
Citadel.
Northrop Grumman's additional capabilities include
near-real-time fusion and dissemination of intelligence; expertise
in stealth technologies from the B-2 bomber to avionics for the
F-22 and F-35; cyber experience for a wide variety of federal
government and non-defense customers; leadership in positioning,
navigation and timing; and vast experience bringing existing
technologies to new applications across multiple domains, such as
adapting AESA radar for ground vehicle use. Northrop Grumman is
also the only company that can bring the power of fifth-generation
sensors and datalinks to fourth-generation systems.
The CIS is a technology center where Northrop Grumman uses
cutting-edge hardware and software to work and collaborate with
customers to solve their hardest problems. It combines a virtual
environment, collaboration space, and discussion forum with a
deployment lab, command center, and modular command and control
operations center to offer maximum resources for working with
customers. The CIS also includes the Virtual Immersive Portable
Environment (VIPE)/Holodeck, where users can interact with an
environment projected 360 degrees around them.
