Northrop Grumman's NAVDEX exhibit will be in booth B-040.
In addition, media are invited to attend a ceremony where
Northrop Grumman and the Higher Colleges of Technology will sign a
memorandum of understanding to continue the Innovation Challenge
program. This unique competition empowers college students in the
United Arab Emirates to design,
build and fly unmanned aircraft as part of the company's support
for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)
education. The signing ceremony will take place Feb. 24 at 10 a.m.
local time in Northrop Grumman's IDEX booth 02-A10 in the U.S.
pavilion.
"Northrop Grumman is committed to being a trusted, long-term
partner with Gulf Cooperation Council countries," said Doug Raaberg, chief executive, Northrop Grumman
United Arab Emirates. "IDEX and NAVDEX 2015 are opportunities to
renew those ties, shine a spotlight on our leading capabilities and
work closely with our customers to enhance the security and
development of the region."
A featured attraction of Northrop Grumman's IDEX exhibit will be
the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning and control
tactical workstation, which enables visitors to simulate operating
an E-2D and learn about its data-gathering features.
The exhibit will also spotlight Northrop Grumman's
industry-leading radar technologies, including Longbow fire control
radars for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter and ground-based
radars such as the AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar and the
AN/TPS-78 and TPS-703 air surveillance and air traffic control
radars.
Among the advanced defence electronics systems on display will
be the AN/APR-39 radar warning receiver which protects a wide
variety of fixed-, rotary- and tilt-wing aircraft, and the
AN/AAQ-28(V) LITENING pod, a combat-proven, self-contained,
multisensor targeting and surveillance system.
Northrop Grumman offers a full range of open, interoperable and
cyber-hardened command and control and solutions. These solutions
include the Citadel Enterprise Battle Command System, a
cyber-secure, rapidly deployable and mobile command-and-control
system that delivers a single integrated air picture to enable
better, timelier decision making. Citadel can easily incorporate
current and future sensors and weapon systems for the greatest
flexibility to contend with the evolving threat and budget
environments.
In addition, Northrop Grumman will showcase its upgraded
helicopter cockpit. Derived from the U.S. Army's UH-60V Black Hawk
program, the system allows customers to have an affordable, highly
digital, integrated suite of avionics equipment. The system's
integrated architecture can be applied to many platforms through a
single software package.
