Northrop Grumman has received production and long lead time materials (LLTM) contracts from Eastern Shipbuilding Group for C4ISR and control systems for the US Coast Guard’s Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPC), the company announced on 4 February.
Under the contract, Northrop Grumman will produce C4ISR and control systems for the first OPC, USCGC Argus, and procure LLTM for these systems on the second OPC, USCGC Chase.
As part of the OPC programme, Northrop Grumman is responsible for the integrated bridge, navigation, C2, computing network, data distribution, machinery control and propulsion control systems.
The coast guard exercised ESG’s option to produce the Argus and procure LLTM for the Chase in September.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
