Capabilities on display include:
- The laser-based directed energy Infrared Countermeasures (IRCM)
Guardian Laser Transmitter Assembly (GLTA) and the Advanced Threat
Warner (ATW) have the ability to not only track missiles but also
detect laser threats and hostile fire, such as rocket-propelled
grenades or small arms fire.
- The Multi-Band Laser Spot Tracker (MBLST), Slayer handheld
precision targeting device and Venom vehicle-mounted targeting pod
laser systems are tailored to provide mission overmatch and rapid
precision engagement in all battlefield conditions. Enhancements
deliver lighter weight and performance improvements through
celestial navigation technology and leading-edge capabilities.
- The Vehicle and Dismount Exploitation Radar (VADER) antenna was
designed to support multiple missions, including the capability to
detect dismounts and facilitate the exploitation of this data.
- CGA is a high-performance map server that provides foundation
GEOINT to disadvantaged users based on data built from
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) data products and
commercial data sets.
- Biosled, a component of Northrop Grumman's Biometric Ecosystem,
is a single form factor device that serves as a lightweight,
low-cost biometric sled. Biosled is designed to meet strict
Department of Defense requirements for use in tactical
environments. The customized form factor builds a semi-rugged case
around the host Android smartphone. Biosled packs extended battery
power and utilizes Northrop Grumman's high-performance biometric
mobility software to achieve standards-based data capture.
- Passporte is a computerized machine language conversion tool
that rapidly transforms documents in a foreign language into
English – accelerating understanding of its contents and allowing
for rapid sorting and triaging of information.
- The APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) is a
full-performance, multi-function, active electronically scanned
array (AESA) fire control radar in production and available now for
the F-16. SABR was developed as an affordable, low-risk AESA radar
and utilizes technology common with the radars on the F-35 and F-22
to extend the life and survivability of the F-16, keeping the
platform relevant in the battlespace of the future. The SABR
AESA system is also scalable to meet the unique form factor, power
and cooling provisions for a wide variety of other aircraft
configurations.
- Northrop Grumman's Hellhound light reconnaissance vehicle
provides unprecedented capabilities by combining the latest
innovations from the automotive racing community with emerging
weapons and electronics technologies to provide a uniquely
flexible, high-performance platform for Special Operation
Forces.
