04 Décembre 2012 - 2:00PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has delivered its 250th
LITENING G4 targeting system ahead of schedule.
LITENING G4 is currently in full rate production to accommodate
separate indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts with
the U.S. Air Force and the Naval Air Systems Command. These
contracts allow for procurement of new LITENING G4 pods as well as
upgrades of existing LITENING Advanced Targeting Block 1 pods to
the advanced LITENING G4 configuration.
"Northrop Grumman's early delivery of the LITENING G4 to the
warfighter is an example of the company's commitment to quality and
continuous improvement," said Jim Mocarski, Northrop Grumman's vice
president of electro-optic/infrared targeting systems. "We were
able to deliver the most affordable and advanced targeting
capability available ahead of schedule. It is a tremendous effort
toward the overall mission."
LITENING G4 technologies include a true 1Kx1K forward-looking
infrared and charge-coupled device, as well as short-wave infrared
laser imaging sensors, color symbology, tracker improvement and
enhanced zoom. These advancements deliver more accurate target
identification and location at longer ranges than previous
generations of LITENING targeting pod systems.

A-10A/C, B-52H, EA-6Bs, F-15E, F-16 and F/A-18, LITENING is in
