In booth 1206, Northrop Grumman will spotlight solutions to protect warfighters, preserve command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) dominance, ensure control of the airspace and expand mission capabilities.

The company's digital helicopter cockpit and integrated avionics solutions will be featured in the booth. Derived from the U.S. Army's UH-60V Black Hawk program, the system offers an affordable, integrated suite of avionics equipment. The system's integrated architecture can be applied to many platforms and sustained through a single software package.

Also featured will be OpenPod™, a modular, reconfigurable open architecture pod platform that offers IRST (infrared search and track), targeting and other capabilities. Because the pod allows for sensor changes without modifications to the aircraft or mission computer, OpenPod™ can always be upgraded independent of the aircraft.

Other systems and capabilities on display will include:

• AN/ALQ-131 electronic countermeasures pod
• AN/APG-83 Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR)
• AN/APR-39D(V)2 radar warning receiver/electronic warfare management system
• AN/VIC-5 vehicle intercom system
• Guardian™ infrared countermeasures system
• Navigation systems, including the LN-200 FOG family, LN-251, LISA 200, LN-260 and LN-270
• VENOM, LLDR, MBLST
