Northrop Grumman capabilities at the symposium include:
- In its most recent flight test, the Integrated Air and Missile
Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) successfully used
sensors and interceptors from different air defense systems,
selecting from different missile types to defeat multiple threats
arriving at the same time. The IBCS is key to a revolutionized IAMD
and crucial to the Army vision for an IAMD command and control
capability across all echelons and AMD assets.
- The Advanced Threat Warner (ATW) offers unprecedented four in
one functionality: missile warning capability, hostile fire
indication, laser warning and situational awareness. This
lightweight system provides outstanding clutter rejection, missile
detection, and accurate hostile fire warning via a heads-up display
or other cockpit presentation.
- The AN/AAQ-37 Distributed Aperture System (DAS) provides
360-degree situational awareness and is able to detect, track and
target multiple, simultaneous ballistic missiles. DAS represents a
new generation of staring infrared sensor that, when combined with
follow-on communication and systems cueing, provide the regional
commander the tools needed to respond to ballistic missile
threats.
- The AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) is a
highly mobile multi-mission radar system designed for expeditionary
requirements. G/ATOR provides multifaceted detection and tracking
capabilities to enable engagement of a wide range of threats, and
offers robust air traffic control capabilities to ensure the safety
of Marines worldwide.
- The Highly Adaptable Multi-Mission Radar (HAMMR) is a
multi-mission radar system with true on-the-move capabilities.
Based on proven technology already in production, HAMMR provides
comprehensive situational awareness to protect the fighting force
from current and emerging threats – all while operating
on-the-move.
- The Joint Tactical Ground Station (JTAGS) is a transportable
information-processing system that receives, processes and
disseminates overhead persistent infrared sensor information on
tactical ballistic missile launches and other events of interest
for warning, alerting and cueing via in-theater tactical and
strategic communications networks.
Dan Verwiel, vice president and general manager, integrated air
and missile defense division, will be part of an industry panel,
Aug. 17, "Strengthening the Government-Industry Partnership to
Deliver Advanced Space and Missile Defense Capabilities in a
Complex World." Additionally, Northrop Grumman personnel will
present "Advanced Additive Manufacturing Techniques to Support
Space and Missile Defense Product Requirements" during the
symposium's technology track.
