Northrop Grumman has received a contract for $56 million to add a new mobile target precision tracking and engagement capability to the Air Force’s E-8 Joint STARS fleets of ground radar aircraft. The Enhanced Land/Maritime Mode system will “improve overall battlefield response and tactical decision-making,” says Dave Nagy, Northrop’s VP for intelligence-surveillance-reconnaissance programs.
The Sentinel Launch Support System, the digital backbone for testing the new intercontinental ballistic missile over its expected 50-year life, has completed critical design review, Northrop Grumman said Oct. 20.
