Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has successfully completed
the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) for the Inertial Sensor Module,
a critical component of the U.S. Navy's Inertial Navigation System
Replacement (INS-R). The system will be named WSN-12, and will
replace the WSN-7.
The PDR, a key milestone for the program, is one of four major
system engineering technical reviews. Engineering Development
Models are currently being built, with deliveries planned for
mid-2017.
"This is a critical system for both surface and subsurface
platforms," said Todd Leavitt, vice president, maritime systems
business unit, Northrop Grumman. "It took a lot of focused energy
and close coordination with the Navy to achieve this milestone in
only four months."
Barbie Fidura, Navsea PEO IWS 6.0 Navigation Programs, said,
"This was a big effort for both the Navy and Northrop Grumman, and
I am pleased about how we worked together to make this happen.
INS-R is an important system and a foundation for assured
positioning, navigation, and timing requirements."
