“This awaited event is a key milestone for the programme and for us too. SELEX Galileo will continueto be fully committed in providing its distinguished contribution to NATO AGS and in cooperating alongside Northrop Grumman to develop this vital operational capability, in line with the Company’s leading excellence in the ISR – Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance – domain” said Fabrizio Giulianini, Deputy CEO of SELEX Galileo.
