ELECTRONICS

Radar Systems

AN/APG-77    AN/APG-77
The AN/APG-77 will provide F/A-22 pilots with unprecedented capability in air-to-air combat, allowing pilots to track and engage multiple threat aircraft before adversary radar detect the F/A-22. The radar employs an active, electronically-scanned antenna (AESA) featuring a separate transmitter and receiver for each of the antenna's radiating elements to provide the agility, low radar cross section, and wide bandwidth.


Longbow    Longbow
The Longbow Fire Control Radar and its weapons counterpart, the radar-guided, "fire and forget" Longbow Hellfire missile, enable the potent Apache attack helicopter to detect, classify, and prioritize ground targets day or night, in poor weather and obscured conditions. The system then enables attack of those targets with pinpoint accuracy from ranges that safeguard the lives of the aircrew.

Viper Strike Submunition    Viper Strike Submunition
The Vehicular Intercommunications System (VIS), enables wired and wireless voice communications between crew members of combat vehicles. Unattended ground sensor uses acoustic and seismic signals to monitor the battlefield and provide timely intelligence of vehicle movements and intrusions.


ESAXXI    ESAXXI
ESAXXI is a low-cost, lightweight fire-control radar used for surveillance and target acquisition for armored vehicles. It detects both air and ground targets and contains a monopulse ground mapping system.

C4ISR

Network-centric Warfare    Network-centric Warfare
Northrop Grumman offers world-class expertise in tactical data link (TDL) technology for C41SR network-centric warfare. These systems enable secure, seamless information exchange across all elements of the Global Information Grid. Our advanced solutions ensure that vital information goes where and when it's needed with total security. These systems include tactical data link (TDL) gateway processors; simulators; common link integration processors for aircraft, naval vessels, and ground vehicles; and mission management control software for satellite ground stations.

Electronic Warfare

JTE    JTE
The Joint Threat Emitter (JTE) is a multi-threat, high-fidelity simulator, which simulates both single and double digit Surface-to-Air and Anti-Aircraft Artillery radar systems. JTE accurately trains combat aircrew to defeat or avoid Integrated Air Defense Systems around the world in a war-like training environment. JTE will replace most threat emitter systems on USAF and ANG training ranges. It offers true warfighter training for the combat pilot.

Navigation & Guidance

Fiber-Optic Gyro Inertial Navigation System    Fiber-Optic Gyro Inertial Navigation System
Northrop Grumman's newest fiber-optic gyro inertial navigation system, the LN-260, has been selected by the US Navy as part of an avionics cost savings and reliability improvement kit for their F-5 Tiger II Adversary Fleet Support Fighter. The system replaces five legacy components comprising the navigation, navigation controls, and radar display functions with two state-of-the-art line replaceable units. The LN-260 is a completely integrated navigation system with an anti-spoofing module-compliant embedded Global Positioning System (GPS).
