The US Army has awarded an indefinite delivery indefinite/quantity contract to Northrop Grumman for the development of the Airborne Reconnaissance Low-Enhanced (ARL-E) Long-Range Radar (LLR), the company announced on 24 September.
The company will develop a synthetic aperture radar (SAR)/ground moving target indicator (GMTI) system for the ARL-E DHC-8, under the contract.
The company’s LLR solution combines the Gen 2 Vehicle and Dismount and Exploitation Radar (VADER) back-end electronics and software with a high technology readiness level AESA to meet the increasing requirements of ARL-E, particularly the dismount moving target indication, thus enhancing the army’s C4ISR capabilities.
The LLR is the company’s newest offering in the tactical radar family. It will be a part of the short-range STARLite and medium-range VADER systems.
Steve McCoy, vice president, tactical sensor solutions, Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems, said: ‘The LRR is a natural fit into the Northrop Grumman family of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ISR systems and mission solutions. Our low-risk, affordable solution combines mature Active Electronically Scanned Array [AESA] technology with operationally proven hardware and software to meet all-weather and long-range ISR requirements.’
Airbus was awarded the Composante Spatiale Optique (CSO) contract at the end of 2010. This included an option for a third satellite, which was activated after Germany joined the programme in 2015.
In today’s contested operational environment, adaptability is key. The new Geospatial-Intelligence as a Service (GEO IaaS) solution from Fujitsu and MAIAR empowers militaries by enabling intelligence advantage, combining advanced technology with human expertise to deliver actionable insights.
Israel will continue to develop autonomy for its weapons and platforms as it brings together defence personnel, academia and industry.
Clavister CyberArmour, an integrated defence cybersecurity system, will be used on BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV90 platform in deployments with a Scandinavian country, as well as in an eastern European nation.
